Join us for a powerful and deeply moving afternoon at the Albuquerque Museum for a special screening of Children in the Fire.
This FREE event sponsored by Albuquerque Sister Cities Foundation and Ukrainian Americans of New Mexico marks 4 years since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine — a solemn anniversary honoring the resilience, courage, and unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people.
The Ukrainian children’s world was shattered in 2022, but their dreams remain unbroken. An inspiring documentary blending live-action and animation to tell their extraordinary story.
Since launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russian leaders have imposed methods for undermining Ukraine’s future by targeting its children. Russian troops are regularly accused of abducting minors, then forcing them into adoptions or captivity so they can be re-educated as Russian patriots and janizaries.
Returning to the streets where he filmed his Oscar-nominated documentary Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom, director Evgeny Afineevsky invites survivors of Russia’s abductions and attacks to share their stories. CHILDREN IN THE FIRE is the collective war diary of resilient Ukrainians who witnessed the worst of humanity, yet remain motivated young athletes, performers and public servants. Through live-action footage and Ukrainian artists’ animation, the documentary joins eight kids on international journeys to pursue their goals. Each child embodies the promise of their homeland and the potential of a nonviolent world.
Children in the Fire received a Jury Honorable Mention for Best Documentary Feature at the 2025 Raindance Film Festival in London and two major recognitions at the Festival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo 2025 and the AMADE Human Rights Award and the Jury Special Prize.
