About

Big Sonia is a 93-minute documentary about 91-year-old Sonia Warshawski, a great-grandmother, businesswoman, and Holocaust survivor who runs the tailor shop she has owned for more than 30 years in the last store of the defunct Metcalf South shopping mall. An eviction notice brings retirement into view as she confronts her past as a refugee and witness to genocide. The film, released in 2016 and produced by Inflatable Film, won 22 awards. Screenings begin at 3:00 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 3:15 p.m. Sundays.
