UKRAINE: The Country You Only Know From the Headlines | 4K Travel Documentary

The largest country lying entirely within the European continent. The seat of a
kingdom older than England, married into the courts of medieval France. The soil beneath one quarter of Ukraine is so rich it has its own name — chernozem, black earth, the same ground that fed empires.

That is Ukraine — a place most viewers have come to know through a single year of news, and almost nothing of the thousand years that came before.

In this documentary, discover the country behind the headlines: the 1,000 year-old capital at Kyiv with its golden-domed cathedrals and the deepest metro station in the world; the primeval beech forests of the Carpathians, where the world's largest brown bear population still roams and the European bison has been put back into the wild; the steppe that fed empires; the bards, the embroidered shirts,
the constitutional documents and Easter eggs that survived every regime that tried to erase them; and the exclusion zone around the most famous nuclear disaster in history — which has, against everyone's expectation, become one of Europe's
largest accidental wildlife refuges.

Take a breath. Stay a while. There is far more to Ukraine than the worst thing
happening to it.
