World Premiere
Sunday, March 2, 1:00 PM At: Jamestown Philomenian Library 26 North Main Rd., Jamestown, RI |

We are pleased to announce the world premiere of our 90-minute documentary Beyond Bucha: Finding the Spirit in Ukraine, from the Churches to the Front, in conjunction with the Jamestown Ukraine Relief Project (JURP) and the Friends of the Jamestown Library. The timing coincides with the three-year anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the 11th anniversary of the illegal Russian occupation of eastern Ukraine and Crimea.
Filmmaker Steve Richards will be on hand to introduce this compelling film, the third in his Trek to Bucha series. Following the film, Steve will host a live Q&A (via Zoom) between the audience and interviewees in Ukraine who appear in the film. Among these is Sasha Pinchuk, who made many friends in Jamestown as a Melrose School student during the 2022-23 school year.
Beyond Bucha is the third film in the Trek to Bucha series. The series’ second film, Back to Bucha, received its Rhode Island premiere in February 2024 at the Jamestown Art Center.

Screen Beyond Bucha for Your Group
We are taking our uplifting film about Ukraine’s Spirit across America to raise awareness, entertain, and inspire audiences - all while raising funds for Ukraine.

All screenings are hosted by the film's director Steve Richards. Screenings can take place at churches, community centers, film festivals, universities and partner sponsored events both in person and virtually. So, if you have a group that wants to be entertained, informed, and inspired – we'd love to welcome you to the tour!
These are donation driven events. Which means that while there is no charge to attend, we do welcome donations to cover our costs for the events and the film. We also share half of a screening's net proceeds (after food, travel, venue costs, etc.) with foundations and charities that support Ukraine. So, everyone that donates supports the film and Ukraine directly! And the film's interviewees largely speak English making it ideal for American audiences.

How it Works
What’s required of your group? Basically, just screening facilities (for in-person events), and promotional assistance. Refreshments are optional. Don’t have a screen? A/V equipment can be arranged. So, make it an event and invite the broader community. Here’s all that’s necessary:
Virtual Guests from Ukraine
We are very fortunate to be able to offer the participation of some of the film's "stars" virtually from Ukraine if the screenings are held early enough in the day (Kyiv is six hours ahead). This includes clergy, mothers, students, and others from the film which you get a glimpse of in the trailer.
Virtual Screenings
We love events in person but it's not always practical to bring a large group together. It can also be more economical and time efficient to screen the film virtually. So, we will also be holding virtual screenings, complete with Q&A, online fundraising, and optional livestreams of the event. The option is yours, in person or online!
