This is the child’s first trip abroad. Not only did he listen to the songs, he took the stage with the Ukrainian flag in his hand. Then the band’s lead singer Dan Reynolds took the same flag.
“Today, thanks to the UNITED24 donor Aurora network, Sasha’s house is being rebuilt and the man listens to cool music instead of explosions on his first trip to Europe. We rejoice when dreams come true, and children are children for a while, at least even during the War,” the article writes.
Sasha became the hero of the clip purely by chance. She remained in her own village until the last moment, but still she had to leave after the great bombardment began. Returning, the boy saw the destroyed house destroyed by Russian bullets. He also learned that his neighbors had died under the bombardment.
Zgursky told reporters that an American photographer and singer offered him a role in the Imagine Dragons video. However, he did not specify exactly who he was talking about.
“At first I didn’t want to, then he said that I could become famous, that volunteers could come to me to fix the house, and I agreed,” said the Ukrainian.
It turns out that the American, Ty Arnold directed most of the Imagine Dragons videos. He filmed the story of Sasha, showing him his destroyed house and telling about his dream of rebuilding it, and it was he who formed the basis of the video. The video has already been viewed by nearly six million people worldwide and was nominated for the MTV Music Video Awards in the “Video for Good” category.
