    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Glory to the Heroes” showing Dec. 29-Jan. 4 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

    In June 2023, Russia destroys the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine and commits an unprecedented ecocide. In response, French philosopher and filmmaker Bernard-Henri Lévy returns to Ukraine to capture Ukraine’s deep humanity despite the dire conditions, and a civilian resilience and resistance unlike any other.

    On the ground during the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Lévy and Roussel embed with elite forces on the frontline. With unprecedented access, they capture the horrors of war, the hopefulness of the Ukrainian citizens and their optimism in the face of senseless destruction.

    Lévy has brought to the world a film that, now more than ever, is a painful reminder that this war is our war and it’s time for the West to urgently give Ukraine everything it needs to win.

    “Glory to the Heroes” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Dec. 29-Jan. 4. Showtimes will be Friday and Saturday, Dec. 29 and 30 at 3:30 p.m.; and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 2, 3 and 4 at 6:30 p.m.

    Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

      If you want to see what America used to represent and stand for go see this. If you are a draft dodging coward who thinks Democracy is bad and Putin is good don’t go see this, go see some of Stevie Segal’s Putin propaganda films.
