The Tolkien blacksmith in Ukraine - vpro Metropolis 2009

Eugeniy isn't just a regular blacksmith. He lives in a small village near Kiev but is well-known in town because of the armour and weapons he forges. vpro Metropolis was a video project by Dutch broadcast organisation vpro, that ran from 2008 to 2015. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country/city. We made a trip around the globe on one single issue: from local beauty ideals to Elvis impersonators, to what's it like being gay, or an outcast or a dog in different cultures.
