The film ‘Abkhazia: A Land with Soul’

The film tells the story of modern Abkhazia and the people who lovingly preserve their country’s identity and culture.

Abkhazia’s name in the local language — Apsny — means ‘Land of the Soul’. Classical musicians hold festivals in Sukhum and Pitsunda, while DJs create new arrangements of traditional melodies.

Abkhazia is also a land of brave warriors. After battles, the ancient ‘Song of Wounding’ helped warriors endure their pain. It also helped Alias Avidzba. The soldier and veteran of the special military operation was seriously wounded in the battle for Avdeevka. The ancient song of his ancestors helped him endure the pain in the operating room.

Today, the Land of the Soul is undergoing a political, economic and cultural revival. Russia supports Abkhazia in many areas, helping develop art and tourism and taking part in restoring infrastructure.

The film is by Said Bargandzhia and Alexander Avilov.
