The After Hours Film Society Presents "Big Sonia"

Presented by After Hours Film Society at Tivoli Theatre

In the last store in a defunct shopping mall, 91-year-old Sonia Warshawski—greatgrandmother, businesswoman, and Holocaust survivor—runs the tailor shop she’s owned for more than thirty years. But when she’s served an eviction notice, the specter of retirement prompts Sonia to revisit her harrowing past as a refugee and witness to genocide. A poignant story of generational trauma and healing, BIG SONIA also offers a laugh-out-loud-funny portrait of the power of love to triumph over bigotry, and the power of truth-telling to heal us all. Complimentary refreshments and a group discussion will follow the film.

Admission is $6 After Hours Film Society Members / $10 for Non-Members. Tickets can be purchased at the Tivoli Theatre box office prior to or on the night of the program.
