Cinemas across the UK have come together to screen this film with proceeds going to the British Red Cross who are supporting the Humanitarian effort as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Set in 2013, 'Olga' tells the story of a 15-year-old Ukrainian gymnast (Anastasia Budiashkina) training for the European Championship in preparation for the Olympics, who is forced to move to Switzerland from her home in Kyiv where her mother works as an investigative journalist reporting on the Euromaidan protests. Budiashkina, who is now safely in Poland after leaving Kharkiv, said: "I am very glad that 'Olga' will be seen in the U.K, and people will see the situation going on with Ukraine."
