There are many people out there that continue to do everything that they can to keep the Ukraine’s fight for freedom front and center in our daily thoughts. It was back in February when Russia invaded Ukraine. Since that time, there have been countless casualties, cities destroyed, families shattered, and 6.7 million Ukrainians have fled the country. The damage is immeasurable – so great, in fact, that it’s hard to comprehend.
That’s why vascular surgeon at the University at Buffalo-Department of Surgery, James K. Lukan, has arranged to screen a documentary film at the North Park Theatre this coming Sunday, to ensure that people have an opportunity to learn about the history of the war (began in 2014), the horrific nature of the invasion, and the devastating impact that will be felt for generations to come.
“Dr. Lukan has traveled to Ukraine to help with the travesty that is going on over there,” said James W. Baker, who is helping to promote the film. “He came back to Buffalo and wanted to keep the Ukraine issue on people’s radar to let them know that they still need our help. He has rented out North Park Theatre on Sunday to show an advanced screening of ‘Winter on Fire’ Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom. It is scheduled to premier on Netflix on October 9th. The advance screening aligns with the Ukrainian Independence Day, so the timing is impeccable.”
Admission is free | Doors open at 11am
