Surviving Earth at Violet Crown Cinema 4

Mar 11, 2025

3:15pm – 4:55pm CT

Based on a true story, SURVIVING EARTH follows Vlad, a talented harmonica player who arrived in the UK after fleeing the conflict in Yugoslavia. Now a counsellor living in Bristol, Vlad has brought his love for Balkan music to the city with a band formed with his friends from work. As the band strives for success, Vlad is revisited by the traumas of his past and his carefully rebuilt world starts to fracture, jeopardising the relationships with those closest to him and particularly with his daughter, Maria.
