The Helm of Destiny

This cinematic journey in time and space is aiming to research the history of Ukrainian emigration to the United States, and to highlight the active members of the Ukrainian community. Following a brief historical introduction, we get to see an impressive gallery of Ukrainians of different professions – from a farmer to a spacecraft engineer – speaking out about their life experience, their roots, and their take on self-identification. Among the personalities featured in the film, there are famous artists, such as Jacques Hnizdovsky, and a celebrated American actor of Ukrainian decent Jack Palance, who is also narrating the picture.
