Surviving Earth

Directed by Thea Gajic

With Slavko Sobin, Olive Gray, Ann Ogbomo, Arthur McBain and Brian Bogdanovic

Years after fleeing military conscription during the Yugoslav conflict, Vlad is building a community in Bristol, working as a drugs counsellor and pursuing success with his riotous Balkan band. But integration isn’t as easy as he hoped, and the trauma of his past life is difficult to repress. Can he overcome his demons and create a new life for those he loves the most?
