Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker Leah Warshawski sits down with Jan Price to discuss her documentary, “Big Sonia,” currently streaming on PBS!
In the last store in a defunct shopping mall, 91-year-old Sonia Warshawski – great-grandmother, businesswoman, and Holocaust survivor - runs the tailor shop she’s owned for more than thirty years. But when she’s served an eviction notice, the specter of retirement prompts Sonia to revisit her harrowing past as a refugee and witness to genocide. A poignant story of generational trauma and healing, BIG SONIA also offers a laugh-out-loud and funny portrait of the power of love to triumph over bigotry and the power of truth-telling to heal us all.
