🇺🇦 What does it mean to leave your home behind? And can you ever truly rebuild a sense of belonging somewhere else?
Join this Friday, 9 October, for a special screening of "Somewhere, After Leaving", a powerful documentary by Ukrainian filmmaker Svitlana Pohasiy exploring the experiences of Ukrainians displaced by Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Filmed across Poland, Romania and the United Kingdom, the documentary goes beyond the stories of escape to explore what happens afterwards: the challenges of rebuilding everyday life, finding a sense of belonging, and forming new connections in unfamiliar places.
Through personal stories and intimate conversations, the film also highlights the extraordinary kindness of those who opened their homes, communities and hearts to people seeking safety.
🎤 Meet the filmmakers
Following the screening, director Svitlana Pohasiy and Professor Kathryn Cassidy from Northumbria University will join an open discussion, inviting the audience to share their own experiences, reflections and questions.
The film was developed through research conducted by Northumbria University between 2023 and 2025, exploring responses to Ukrainian displacement across Europe.
Whether you have experienced displacement yourself, welcomed Ukrainians into your community, or simply wish to understand these experiences more deeply, we warmly invite you to join us for an evening of film, reflection and meaningful conversation.
💙💛 Because leaving home is not the end of the journey and belonging is something we build together.
