Post-screening Q&A with director Slawomir Grünberg and co-producer Robert Podgursky In 1940, Stalin ordered the deportation of 500,000 Poles—200,000 of them Jewish—from Russian-occupied eastern Poland to forced-labor settlements in the Soviet interior. As cruel as Stalin's deportations were, they saved Jewish lives, for the deportees constituted the majority of the Polish Jews who escaped the Holocaust. This little-known story is a harrowing adventure tale that traces the route of its subjects from Poland to Siberia to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and, ultimately, Brooklyn. English, Yiddish, Russian, Polish and Uzbek with English subtitles. Director: Slawomir Grünberg. 2006. 75 min. Preceded by the short film The Metamorphosis by Ari Mark Date & Time: Wed, M
