I was born in the Soviet Union, and at the age of seven immigrated to Israel with my parents.
I finished film studies at the "Minshar for art" college in Tel Aviv.
The documentary "The Partisan" is my first film. It was made in the battle zones of the Civil War in Ukraine.
The film received a lot of media coverage in Israel, when the Ukrainian ambassador to Israel tried to ban the film and censor it.
My film is a voice for the civilian population of eastern Ukraine who are considered "the wrong victims" whose suffering is silenced in the media for geopolitical reasons.
