Today I speak with Mirosław Olędzki, a Polish filmmaker, Warsaw 48HFP City Winner, and an all around wonderful human being. He lives 400 miles away from the war in Ukraine and wants to motivate the worldwide family of 48 Hour Filmmakers to come together and make a series of anti-war short films to show our support for, to give some hope to the people of Ukraine, and to the Russian people who oppose their government's brutal assault on the sovereignty of Ukraine and the innocent people who live there. #StandWithUkraine
