How war-torn Ukraine won the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest
In 2022, Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra went from the conflict-ridden outskirts of Kyiv to winning the Eurovision Song Contest. With exclusive access to the band, this very special documentary follows their triumph in Turin and tells the inside story of how their song “Stefania” struck a chord with viewers across Europe. Blending traditional folk with hip-hop, “Stefania” was originally written as a tribute to the lead singer’s mother but found new resonance for Ukrainians, becoming an anthem in their war-torn country.
