Special screening of the Ukrainian documentary “Family Album”

We warmly invite you to join us on 30 June at Manchester Central Library for a special screening of the Ukrainian documentary “Family Album”, followed by a conversation with the film’s protagonist, Samara Pearce.

This event continues the important dialogue started by the Holodomor exhibition currently presented at Manchester Central Library. Through personal family history, archive photography, and Samara’s journey to Ukraine, the film connects the history of the Holodomor with present-day Ukraine and explores themes of memory, identity, resilience, and truth.

Samara Pearce is the great-granddaughter of Alexander Wienerberger, whose photographs became some of the most important visual evidence of the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine in 1932–1933.

We would be very happy to welcome you to this special evening of film, history, and conversation.
