NAVO Filmweek: Nice Ladies

• Date: 25 June
• Time: 19:00
• Location: Flora Filmtheater

What does war do to those who didn’t choose it — but find themselves caught in the middle?
And how do you hold together a fragile world order before it truly falls apart?

As part of the Just Peace Festival 2025, in the lead-up to the NATO summit, Movies that Matter joins forces with PAARD, Flora Filmtheater, and Theater & Filmhuis Dakota for a specially curated film series titled NATO Film Week, exploring the complexity of war and the challenge of preserving peace.

Four very different films, offering entirely different perspectives — together forming one powerful portrait of our time.

Nice Ladies

Nice Ladies is a powerful and intimate documentary that follows a group of elderly Ukrainian women who rebuild their lives in the United States after fleeing war and loss. With warmth, humor, and resilience, they form a tight-knit community through their shared love of competitive weightlifting. This heartwarming film celebrates strength, sisterhood, and the will to thrive — no matter your age or history.
