Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the world to present the global premiere of “Irena’s Vow” showing April 15 and 16 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
Through the eyes of a strong-willed woman comes the remarkable true story of Irena Gut and the triumphs of the human spirit over devastating tragedy.
Nineteen-year-old Irena is promoted to housekeeper in the home of a highly respected Nazi officer when she finds out that the Jewish ghetto is about to be liquidated. Determined to help the Jewish workers, she decides to shelter them in the safest place she can think of — the basement of the German commandant’s house.
Over the next two years, Irena uses her wit, humor, and courage to hide her friends until the end of the German occupation, concealing them in the midst of countless Nazi parties, a blackmail scheme, and even the birth of a child.
Her story is one of the most inspiring of our time.
“Irena’s Vow” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre April 15 and 16. Showtimes will be Monday, April 15 at 7:00 p.m. and Tuesday, April 16 at 4:00 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.
