HANOVER TOWNSHIP — The Joint Ukrainian Community Advocacy Committee will present a special film screening and advocacy event, “Children in the Fire: A Call to Action,” on Sunday, March 8, at 1:00 p.m. at the Ukrainian American Cultural Center of New Jersey, located at 60 N. Jefferson Road in Whippany.
The event is being organized by the Joint Ukrainian Community Advocacy Committee, which includes the UCCA-NJ Coordinating Council, the New Jersey Regional Council of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, CYM Ukrainian American Youth Association, and PLAST Ukrainian Scouting Organization.
The film offers a harrowing and deeply human look at the resilience of Ukrainian children surviving the realities of war. Moving beyond statistics, the documentary focuses on the individual stories of a generation growing up under fire.
Following the screening, a panel discussion will provide an opportunity for reflection and dialogue. Special invitations have been extended to New Jersey state, county, and local officials to attend and participate in the conversation.
Please note that the film is not recommended for children under 13 years old.
Admission is free of charge, and community members are encouraged to attend this important and timely program highlighting both awareness and advocacy.
