Ukrainian documentary Divia by Dmytro Hreshko will be screened at the United Nations International Climate Conference (COP30), the world’s leading climate forum held annually by the UN. The screening will take place at the Ukrainian Pavilion.
The conference runs from 10 to 21 November 2025 in Belém, Brazil.
The film’s presentation will be part of the official programme of the Ukrainian Pavilion throughout the event. Producers Polina Herman and Hlib Lukyanets will represent the film. The screening will bring together government officials, international experts, business representatives, and civil society leaders.
Divia explores the intersection of ecology and war. For several years after Russia’s full-scale invasion, Hreshko filmed the front-line regions from Slobozhanshchyna to Tavria, documenting how war transforms nature. Aerial footage captures scarred fields, burnt forests, and new greenery growing on the drained bed of the Kakhovka Reservoir destroyed by Russian forces. On the ground, the film follows deminers clearing anti-tank mines from farmland and animal rescuers feeding cats in scorched villages and saving dogs stranded on rooftops after flooding.
The world premiere of Divia took place in the Crystal Globe Competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. The film’s international promotion is supported by the Ukrainian Institute and Eurimages.
