Summarizing the Ukrainian Refugee Situation and How You Can Help

Diamond Middleton directed a heart-wrenching short film for Planet Classroom’s problem solvers series called How to Help Ukraine Refugees. Middleton highlights the tensions leading up to the war in Ukraine, the invasion itself and how we can help refugees. The outcome was concise, accurate and helpful. 

I find it eye-opening to discuss hard topics. This short addresses one of the hardest topics of them all in a simple fashion. Foreign tensions can be hard to read about because of the technical diction used in big publications, but Middleton took the story and made it readable, which I appreciated greatly. 

Her suggestions on how we can help Ukrainian refugees were helpful and realistic. When rallying for a cause it is important to make reasonable suggestions so that more people can get involved. Middleton executed this beautifully. 

I give this film 5/5 stars.
