As war ravages their homeland, three artists choose to stay in their native Ukraine, armed with their art, their cameras, and for the first time in their lives, their guns. A stunning tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, embodying the enduring hope and passion of ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances.

Experience the Healing Harvest Market, a monthly community event celebrating faith, health, and the power of local nourishment. Join us at Valley Vital Medicine, Fargo’s trusted functional medicine clinic, for an afternoon filled with purpose, connection, and wholesome living.

Each month, the Healing Harvest Market brings together local farmers, artisans, and wellness-focused small businesses who are passionate about providing clean food, handcrafted goods, and resources for a healthier lifestyle. Shop fresh, connect with like-minded people, and support local families on their healing journeys, including those facing cancer and chronic illness.
