Director/editor Andrea Odezynska debuts her new feature-length environmental documentary, "Return Sasyk to the Sea," which spotlights the destructive legacy Ukraine inherited as a former member of the Soviet Union. The film tells the story of Soviet irrigation projects in southern Ukraine that created a slow eco-disaster, which continues today. Construction of the irrigation project began in 1972; rerouting Ukraine’s major rivers and converting all salt-water estuaries into freshwater reservoirs.
