Description

When a war is going on, the consequences are terrible for many civilians. Together with documentary scenes from the war in Ukraine, voices from all over the world are heard in this short film. They express their reaction to the war, by translating and reading a poem.


The Norwegian poet, Odveig Klyve, wrote this poem on March 14, 2022, the 19th day of the war, and published it on social media the same day. The poem was quickly shared several thousand times. Spontaneously, people started to translate this poem, and it has now been translated into more than 100 different languages and dialects.
