Aug. 31, 2022, fundraiser to support humanitarian aid to Ukraine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hamilton Theater will host a screening of The Guide<\/em>, a two-hour dramatic film produced by acclaimed Ukrainian director Oles Sanin in 2014, which is set against Soviet efforts to exterminate the Ukrainian people in the 1930s through starvation and other policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. Aug. 31, 2022; all proceeds benefit Ukrainian relief efforts. Tickets are sold at the box office by donation. Donations will also be accepted through QR codes, which will be placed in the lobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donated funds are being administered by Human & Civil Rights Organizations of America, Inc., a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation that created a special Ukraine Relief Fund for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, Stand With Ukraine Through Film, began at a small, community cinema in Salem, Mass. The first U.S. showing kicked off at Cinema Salem and raised $12,000 that evening. It was then formally released nationwide and, within days, 600 cinemas across the U.S. agreed to screen it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list of venues continues to grow. The project has raised more than $130,000 so far and has started to issue grants, first recipients being Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s\u2019 World Central Kitchen, the International Organization on Migration and Plast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has been featured on Good Morning America (goodmorningamerica.com\/culture\/video\/community-theaters-raise-money-ukraine-84365914<\/a>) and was also show on Capitol Hill recently to members of Congress with Congressman Seth Moulton among the notable speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are delighted that Hamilton Theater is supporting this international effort to stand with the people of Ukraine during this time of crisis,\u201d said project spokesperson Lisa Vucelich<\/strong>. \u201cWith so many Ukrainian Americans living in the Hamilton area, it is especially valuable that they are screening this 2014 Ukrainian film.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
