Big Sonia

Diminutive and colorful 91-year-old Sonia Warshawski has been running her tailor shop in an otherwise defunct shopping mall for over 30 years. Patrons of all ages have frequented her vibrant business for decades seeking alterations, styling advise, or pleasant conversation. But Sonia is also known as Kansas City’s only Holocaust survivor to speak publicly about her wartime experiences; her harrowing life story has the power to affect students, teens, and even convicts. When she’s served an eviction notice, Sonia must choose between setting up a new shop or retiring. A poignant and intimate portrait of generational trauma and healing.
