Beautifully Broken is an amazing, heart-grabbing movie with scope and universal truth based on the true story of the convergence of a refugee’s escape, a prisoner’s promise, and a daughter’s painful secret.

A Special Screening: "Beneath The Olive Tree"
Friday October 27 - 7 PM
$5 Admission

Narrated by Academy Award Winner Olympia Dukakis.

"Beneath the Olive Tree" is based on secret journals found buried beneath an olive tree on the island of Trikeri, which served as a concentration camp during the Greek Civil War (1946-1949). 

The journals, buried for close to three decades, tell the incredible stories of the women exiled in the camps.

Director Stavroula Toska takes the journey from New York to Greece to shed light on a part of modern history the world knows very little about, and in the process discovers a family secret that shakes her to her core. 

ADMISSION $5 at the door 

REFRESHMENTS will be served
Open to all, bring your friends
