This is chapter two of the 'It Takes A Village' documentary series, where I filmed a series of interviews in the village of Velykoploske in Ukraine's Odesa Oblast.
The series aims to show how Velykoploske battles issues such as the ongoing war, an aging population, and young people losing interest in the village's traditions as they opt for lives in big cities in Ukraine or abroad.

Hello, my name is Vicente Torre. I am a 25-year-old freelance multimedia journalist based in Belgium.
I'm extremely passionate about telling human-interest stories through original, on-the-ground reporting on topics ranging from war to socio-political movements.
I am fundamentally driven by curiosity. My professional life as a journalist, and my passion for travel, are united by the same mission: to push beyond the map's edge, both geographically and culturally.
