What is Where the Cottonwoods Grow about?

In the 1870s, Mennonites embarked on a 20,000 km journey from Imperial Russia (now Ukraine) to the West. This incredible migration, marked by faith, resilience, and determination, shaped the lives of those who undertook it, and laid the foundation for generations to come. The documentary Where the Cottonwoods Grow brings this story to life, highlighting the courage, sacrifice, and deep faith of those early pioneers.

This powerful film has captivated audiences, drawing capacity crowds and sparking overwhelming requests to expand to other provinces and countries.

This is not just an event, but a mission to keep our rich heritage alive and foster communal unity.
