The U.S. film studio "Hallmark Hall of Fame" started shooting the film "Miss Irena's Children" in Riga. Riga Old Town with its old streets and courtyards was chosen in the competition of eight cities as the most appropriate one for shooting the film about the events, which took place during World War II.
It is the first time that a U.S. film studio shoots a film in Latvia. Academy Award winner Anna Paquin will play the main role – Irena Sendler – the young Polish woman, who rescued the lives of thousands of Jewish children during WWII.
