Season 2
Produced for the Voice of America, Our American Story is a Russian language documentary series about lives of immigrants from the former USSR territories. As an immigrant myself and Lead Producer, I felt compelled to tell these 25 minute stories as if they were my own. I travelled from Florida to Alaska to document stories of immigrant beekeepers, firefighters, athletes and business owners to show that the US is still the land of opportunity for many.
