New York City, April 2019 — The Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival (BHFF) invites you to the April 12 screening of Zdenko Jurilj’s documentary SISTERS, followed by a Q&A with sisters Šima and Draženka Čuljak, whose incredible feat of survival the film recounts. Through their harrowing voiceover narration, combined with poetically rendered reenactments, we learn about the sisters’ eight-day ordeal of being stuck in a snowy canyon and cut off from the world in sub-zero temperatures in 1985. After their rescue, both sisters, who were teenagers at the time, had to have their legs amputated below the knee.
