Documentary 'Family Business' — about Khlyvnyuk's charity work

Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov is completing a documentary about Khlyvnyuk's Charity Foundation. Premiere — Sundance Film Festival 2026.

The documentary 'Family Business' by Ukrainian dissident filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, dedicated to the activities of Andriy Khlyvnyuk's charitable foundation, has been included in the official programme of Sundance Film Festival 2026 (15-25 January). Premiere — 18 January at Egyptian Theatre, Park City. The film covers three years of work by the Andriy Khlyvnyuk Charity Foundation (2022-2025) — from the first action of collecting medications for shelters through media activity to a full-fledged foundation with 47 employees. Sentsov followed the foundation with a film crew of 4 cameramen — approximately 480 hours of filmed material, edited into a 109-minute film version. Key film episodes: 1) Khlyvnyuk operating in the role of organizer — coordinating dozens of volunteers; 2) Khlyvnyuk's wife Anastasiya operating in the role of foundation co-founder — her parallel-focus story on children's programmes; 3) Anonymous foundation beneficiaries — veterans, families of the fallen, displaced families. Ukrainian distribution through UNICEF Ukraine launches 24 August 2026 (Independence Day). Separately available on Netflix Documentary from November 2026.
