Documentary 'Match In A Haystack' Follows Ukrainian Dancers Amid War

The documentary 'Match In A Haystack', directed by Joe Hill for Dangerous Company, chronicles the daily lives of Ukraine's leading contemporary dance group since Russia's invasion three years ago. The 85-minute film, set in Kyiv's ruins, captures the dancers' struggle to find purpose and their return to dance as an act of resistance. Dancer Nadine Kupets describes art as a way to balance the lives lost. Hill, a five-time Emmy winner, explains the film explores purpose, camaraderie, and dedication amid war. The independent production company specializes in war-zone filmmaking and relies on donations. The documentary will screen in US cinemas this summer and reach wide distribution in September 2025.
