Free Public Screening: Big Sonia

Big Sonia

Standing tall at 4’8”, Sonia is one of the last remaining Holocaust survivors in Kansas City and one of the only survivors there who speaks publicly about her wartime experience. The film, Big Sonia, interweaves Sonia’s past and present using first-person narrative with stories from family and friends. Along the way, viewers will hear “Soniaisms,” life lessons taken from a woman who can barely see over the steering wheel, yet insists on driving herself to work every day to run her late husband’s tailor shop.
