The Hope College Winter Film Series will show “Woman at War” on Monday-Saturday, April 1-6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Knickerbocker Theatre.
“Woman at War” tells the story of Halla, an independent woman in her late 40s who declares a war on the local aluminum industry to stop its operations in the Icelandic highlands. She succeeds in pausing the negotiations between the Icelandic government and the aluminum corporation, but in the midst of her dangerous, and at times illegal, activism, a long-forgotten application to adopt a child from Ukraine is approved. Halla is faced with the challenge of having this new addition to her life while still fighting for her cause.
The film is in Icelandic, English, Spanish and Norwegian with English subtitles. It is not rated.
Tickets are $7 for regular admission, and $6 for senior citizens, Hope College faculty and children, and will be sold at the door.
The Knickerbocker Theatre is located in downtown Holland at 86 E. Eighth St.
