Still We Bloom

Since childhood, Olha Sahaidak dreamed of a stable, loving family. But just as that dream began to take shape, Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine forced her, her husband, and their children to flee to the United States. Settling in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, they begin to rebuild, finding comfort in a community that feels like home. Yet, they face a new kind of uncertainty as immigration policies shift, and the promise of safety feels just as fragile.

The film is an intimate, character-driven story centered on resilience, displacement, and the evolving meaning of home. We’re looking for a score that is emotionally grounded, subtle, and complements our story narrative without overpowering it.
