Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, proudly announces the acquisition of VOD rights to the war-themed documentary feature SISTERS OF UKRAINE, which will be available to rent/own on North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting August 1, 2025.
Directed by acclaimed documentarian Mike Dorsey, SISTERS OF UKRAINE traces the journey of volunteers and nuns who bring a group of Ukrainian refugees on a three-day journey across Europe to housing in Spain. Two volunteers from an aid organization in Barcelona travel to a convent in western Ukraine where nuns are helping refugees following the Russian invasion. They spend three days living in the convent and helping the nuns care for local refugees who have fled eastern Ukraine, including a mother with eight children and an elderly woman who survived a missile attack on the train station in Kramatorsk that killed 60 civilians. But following the bombing of the Kerch Bridge in Crimea, the mission to bring Ukrainians to refugee housing in Spain is thrown into doubt as all of Ukraine is put under lockdown while Russia fires over 80 missiles at the country in retaliation. After a delay, the volunteers take a group of three-dozen refugees and families of soldiers fighting in the war on a three-day journey by land across Europe to housing near Barcelona.
