The Kharkiv-based cheerleading team Nice Ladies was founded in 2016. They hold the Ukrainian Guiness Record as the Eldest Cheerleading Team of Ukraine, won several prizes in regional and national competitions and regularly take part in the European Championships. Currently, the team prepares for the one in Germany in summer 2024.
On Thursday November 28, Nice Ladies will be aired on tv on national broadcaster HUMAN. HUMAN has a humanistic focus on social issues and current themes, and aimes to contribute to opinion forming, self-development and positive changes leading to a better society. We are convinced that the story of the Nice Ladies will do just that, and are excited that the rest of the Netherlands will now also be able to 'meet' our Ladies. Recently, director Mariia Ponomarova was also interviewed by film magazine Filmkrant about the documentary and the process of filming.
