Production Description

In September 2022, Olivier Award nominated producer, poet, composer and activist Bréon Rydell was invited to Ukraine to experience first-hand, events that were unfolding in the war-torn country. Stand Up For Ukraine, covers the historical background and the political/social impact of the Russian invasion. It is also a passionate, poetic expression with a humanitarian perspective, telling of the personal and human tragedies that are taking place there, and of the suffering and devastating consequences of this continuing war, now in its eighth month. It is an emotional rallying call to the world to come together in support of Ukraine. The Film is based on an open letter written by Bréon, published shortly after commencement of Russian hostilities in Ukraine. It had its premiere In London on July 4th 2022 as part of the Finborough Theatre’s ‘Voices of Ukraine’ season which was produced by Artistic Director, Neil McPherson.

“Know us by our courage not by our fear.”

Inspired by his words, Ukrainian artist Anna Heller, from her temporary home in Berlin, has provided a powerful soundscape, drawing on her deeply personal experience of the conflict, to create a challenging, yet hopeful, sonic landscape.

Bréon Rydell’s work is characterised by its consistent humanitarian themes. He has always sought to highlight the suffering of others, using his work to bring empathy, and most importantly, to create a stirring, positive, narrative to help uplift the human spirit. In the 1980s, he was challenging the National Front with songs he had written for his indie band, Accent, and today his most recent work, Stand Up For Ukraine, a rallying cry for justice and freedom, seeks to provoke a more emboldened global response in support of the country in its battle against the brutal, authoritarian invasion by the Russian military:

“We have been here before. Throughout human existence, our ancestors fought for liberty, struggling repeatedly against ideological tyranny and human brutality. Nothing is ever static in the river of life.”

Born and raised in the borderlands of Scotland, Rydell’s work has taken him across the globe. His love of humanity, and the upholding of human rights, has drawn him to write about conflict and war, including the troubles in Northern Ireland. He is deeply committed to defending freedom.

His collaborator, Anna Heller, is a 24-year-old, audiovisual artist, music producer and designer from Ukraine.

“I heard Bréon’s voice and words two weeks after I left Ukraine. The words touch my heart deeply. I wanted to design a soundscape which would reflect his message and guide people through the whole story, towards the truth.”
