Family Portrait In Black And White In a Ukrainian village, the formidable Olga Nenya single-handedly raises 23 dual heritage foster children. Sixteen are the offspring of visiting African students and Ukrainian women, who often see no choice but to abandon their babies due to the colour of their skin. And that’s where Olga comes in.
