Ukraine: Zlata Dziunka releases the music video of her JESC 2022 song “Nezlamna”
-
The Ukrainian Junior Eurovision 2022 hopeful, Zlata Dziunka has released the music video of her competing song “Nezlamna”.
Following the release of the revamped version of Nezlamna (Unbreakable), Zlata has published the official music video of the song she'll be delivering in Yereven Armenia.
With the war still present in Ukraine the filming of the music video took place in the basement of a church where children from a neighbouring kindergarten come as the warning for air strikes is on.
The video director Vladyslav Vasylchenko
“We started searching for only underground locations and exclusively in Lviv region where Zlata comes from. We changed the script, invented new direction techniques, and Zlata’s mother became our best location manager. At one of the creative meetings, together with Zlata’s music producer ILLARIA, we realised the obvious – this music video had to be as realistic and honest as possible. It must show the truth to the world,”
“These three minutes of video show the truth – Ukrainian children in bomb shelters, playing, reading, dreaming, and getting upset. At the same time, we see their power and bravery, their fight and journey. This generation of children will grow into free, unbreakable, and proud Ukrainians.”
The Ukrainian hopeful, Zlata commented herself:
“This is a story about and on behalf of Ukrainian children these days. They spend part of their lives in bomb shelters. It is for the children that adults are confidently standing for on the side of truth.”
