Film Description:

As the February 2022 full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine nears its fourth anniversary, Idaho-based non-profits Idaho Humanitarian Aid for Ukraine and Type of Wood Charities, continue to deliver humanitarian aid to relieve suffering in Ukraine. This work has included shipping hundreds of containers of humanitarian supplies to Ukraine, delivering fresh and hot food to devastated communities in formerly occupied territories and other areas near the front lines, delivery of mobile medical services, home rebuilding and sponsoring of summer camps for Ukrainian children orphaned and traumatized by the senseless violence.

Idaho Humanitarian Aid for Ukraine and Type of Wood charities, together with the gracious assistance of the Egyptian Theatre, are hosting the screening of Ryan Smith's documentary film "Soldiers of Song." The film premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival and has been screened at film festivals throughout the world. It is a moving testament to the unflinching efforts of Ukraine's most iconic musicians to unite their war-torn nation through the healing power of music.

The objective of this event is to raise funds to expand our ability to offer safe and restorative summer camps to more Ukrainian children.
