“I’m a journalist/editor and member of the International Federation of Journalists. I was born in Belarus, started writing for a local newspaper at 15, and later moved to Lithuania for continue my studies. I’ve lived across Europe, settling in France, where I have worked for RFI, RFE/RL & Voice of America and Euronews. Motivated by human interest stories, I decided to make something greater than the standard two-minute TV package. This project, inspired by personal experiences, is also a way to recover from its traumas.”
