When War Becomes Personal
Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Ukrainian Canadian Congress, Ottawa Branch with support of Ukrainian Youth Association, Ottawa Branch is honoured to invite you to a special gathering with our distinguished guest from Latvia, Juris Ulmanis.
As we, unfortunately, approach the fourth year of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it is especially important on this day to come together as a community—to express our solidarity with Ukraine and our gratitude to all friends who have stood by us.
About our guest, Juris Ulmanis:
Juris is a recognized academic, writer, entrepreneur, mountaineer, and polar explorer. He serves as an Officer in the Latvian National Guard and is an active volunteer supporting Ukraine.
Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, Juris comes from a family of Latvian immigrants who escaped Russian occupation in the 1950s. He spent 18 years in leadership roles at Motorola, Inc., and earned a PhD in Management, teaching entrepreneurship, marketing, and international business across the Baltic region.
Since Russia’s invasions of Ukraine in 2014 and 2022, Juris has been actively supporting Ukraine—delivering humanitarian aid, fundraising, and providing critical equipment to soldiers on the front lines.
Juris is also an accomplished mountaineer and polar explorer, having completed the “Seven Summits” challenge by climbing the highest peak on each continent, crossed Greenland on skis, and in 2025 skied to the South Pole to plant both the Latvian and Ukrainian flags.

Okean Elzy: Stormwatch - Movie
Вперше на великому екрані — історія головного гурту незалежної України, «Океан Ельзи: Спостереження Шторму»!
Стрічка поєднує унікальні архіви, невідомі факти та щирі спогади тих, хто творив і розвивав колектив, пісні якого стали символом свободи, любові та боротьби.
Це відверта розповідь про музичні перемоги, шалену популярність поруч із конфліктами, розривами та історичними викликами, які переживала країна.
«Зйомки фільму дали нам, музикантам, унікальну нагоду самим озирнутись на наш шлях у 30 років. Згадати такі події і моменти, про які мало хто пам'ятав, а дехто і не знав навіть. Усі ті виступи, репетиції, зустрічі, прощання, радощі та труднощі, важкі рішення... І пригадавши то все, розумієш, скільки моментів залишалося поза очима публіки. У фільмі ми чесні і відверті. Усі, хто брав участь у зйомках, хто в різні етапи був частиною життя і шляху ОЕ», — поділився Святослав Вакарчук.
Деталі показу:
15 грудня
Mayfair Theatre
1074 Bank St
Початок показу: 18:15
За виробництво відповідала студія KNIFE! Films, відома за стрічкою «Яремчук: Незрівнянний світ краси», серіалами «ЕПІЗОДИ» та «СПАЛАХ».
«За час роботи над фільмом ми опрацювали величезну кількість архівних матеріалів, щоб скласти цілісну історію “Океану Ельзи”. Провели десятки годин відвертих інтерв’ю з колишніми й теперішніми учасниками, а також людьми, які були поруч із гуртом на їхньому шляху.
Неважливо, чи слухаєте ви їх щодня, чи знаєте лише головні хіти — значення цього гурту виходить далеко за межі музики. Завдяки фільму кожен зможе зрозуміти, як “Океан Ельзи” став легендарним явищем для нашої країни», — розповів Максим Сердюк, продюсер фільму, співзасновник KNIFE! Films.
