Movie Night at Summerlea!

March 31, 2023


 

"...In this feature documentary, a remarkable group of young Afghan women dream of representing their country as boxers at the 2012 Olympics, embarking on a journey of both personal and political transformation."



Many thanks to Sheila Laursen of the Lakeshore Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Lachine for bringing us this opportunity.
Please follow this link for the brief background information for the film.

Saint Andrew's hall was was almost at capacity for the showing. And we raised just over $700!! to help support Shahla's three siblings who escaped Afghanistan to Pakistan but are not allowed to work there.
