Children In The Fire

Children In The Fire

Sunday 17 May 2026

Cinema

Every child in Children In The Fire movie stands for thousands more whose voices aren’t yet heard. They survived bombings, displacement, and loss — yet still speak of music, school, and dreams. From Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Evgeny Afineevsky (Winter on Fire, Freedom on Fire), this documentary follows eight Ukrainian children as they rebuild their lives through art, sports, and friendship. Come, witness their courage, share their stories, and help amplify the voices of a generation growing up under fire — yet refusing to lose its humanity.

Proceeds from the event will go to aid the work of City of Goodness, Ukraine's largest shelter for women, children and animals affected by the war, and also to aiding the Ukrainians in Chelmsford project, supported by Chelmsford CVS.

Members get priority booking and save money on bookings.
