Work is starting on a new film Kobzari by Oles' Sanin in Kyiv.
The story is about a diary and a kobzar book found in Mongolia in the archives of American Agarat Jones.
In the 1920's he was an American who was into business and importing things to Ukraine. With the change to Stalinism he was arrested and found to be a spy and sent to Siberia and later escapes to ongolia.
Paralleling this is the story of a boy, whose parents at the age of 5 move to the USSR becasue they were communists. His parents die during the famine and the boy winds up fending for himself and becomes the guide boy to a kobzar in Kharkiv. He winds up going to the conference of kobzari in Kharkiv where all the kobzari were murdered but escapes. He is saved by his Agarat Jones and winds up in Mongolia with him.
The boy has an American copy of the Kobzar where on one page there were transaltions into English and the other the original in Ukrainian and this is the book from which he learns Ukrainian.
Based on a true story.
