? About the Film

Children in the Fire tells the deeply moving stories of Ukrainian children whose lives have been irrevocably changed by war. Through a powerful combination of real footage and animation, the film presents war as seen through children’s eyes — their fears, losses, and extraordinary resilience.

Director Evgeny Afineevsky emphasizes that the film was created to ensure the world truly hears children’s voices, not just statistics or headlines. By drawing the audience into a child’s perspective, the film invites empathy, understanding, and moral responsibility. It is a story not only about trauma, but also about hope, courage, and the unbreakable human spirit. Children in the Fire asks us not to look away, but to witness, remember, and act.

Before the screening, guests are invited to explore a photo documentary gallery presented by Halifax Creative Ukrainians. This visual exhibition offers context and tells human stories of the war in Ukraine, creating space for reflection and quiet engagement before the film.

Screening will follow a commemorative rally organized by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress NS Branch that will take place at 2.45 pm at the Grand Parade.

Our community extends heartfelt gratitude to Lighthouse Arts Centre for their generosity, solidarity, and continued support of the Ukrainian community. Thanks to Lighthouse Arts Centre, we are able to waive all entrance fees and offer this screening free of charge, making it accessible to everyone. Their commitment to art, culture, and human stories makes this event possible, and we are deeply thankful for their partnership and hospitality.

This screening is organized in collaboration between East Coast Ukrainian Association, Ukrainian Canadian Congress NS Branch, Halifax Creative Ukrainians, and SMU Ukrainian Students Society.
