Join CEPA and The Hon. Jim Costa (CA-21) for a special screening of "Sisters of Ukraine."
Event Overview
"Sisters of Ukraine" follows two volunteers from Barcelona who travel to a convent in western Ukraine where nuns are aiding refugees after the Russian invasion. As the missile attacks on all of Ukraine surge to unprecedented levels following the bombing of the Kerch Bridge in Crimea, the nuns and volunteers take a group of three dozen refugees and families of soldiers fighting in the war on a three-day journey across Europe to housing near Barcelona.
This film is a powerful reminder of the human cost of this war and of the ordinary people, including the faithful women at the heart of this story, who have stepped forward to shelter and protect Ukrainian families. The screening will be preceded by a reception and followed by a short Q&A with the film's director, producer, and the nuns featured in the documentary.
Space is limited. Once we reach capacity, registration will close, and a waiting list will open.
