Jamala – Чому квіти мають очі

Jamala recently won Eurovision 2016 for her song ‘1944‘ which evoked the deportation of Crimean Tatars by Josef Stalin and likened to Russia’s annexation of Crimea. However, she is not only a singer but a great actress and featured on our site before. In 2014 Jamala appeared in a Ukrainian film Поводир, the Guide about a trip of a young American boy and a blind Ukrainian musician across Soviet Ukraine before and during the Holodomor.
