This film tells the stories of the director's sister and cousin who, like her, are often mistaken as non-indigenous women. The film takes on the difficult issue of how these women are viewed by both the native and non-native communities and how, despite appearances, they are part of the long lineage of strong native women continuing the culture of their tribes.

Of Two Worlds

Of Two Worlds. A story of hardship, growth, and resilience many indigenous women experience.

Ukraine, February 24, 2022: In Kharkiv, under a bombing attack not far from the Russian border, twin sisters Maryna Aleksiiva and Vladyslava Alexsiiva flee their apartment in the middle of the night. At the last minute they take with them their Olympic medal, won in Tokyo a year earlier, for artistic swimming (formerly known as synchronized swimming). From then on, as their team is forced to relocate time and again, they are obsessed with one goal: participating in the 2024 Paris Olympic games.
