West Newton Cinema Gift to Stalin, The In 1949, soon after Joseph Stalin unleashes another wave of repression, a little Jewish boy is found alive in a railroad car full of dead bodies. Rescued by a Kazakh railroad worker, the boy grows up and free, yet dreams of finding his exiled parents. Panoramas of the vast steppes of Kazakhstan dazzle the eyes as the story of Sasha and the people who care for him touches the heart. This film is a true gem and a real find.
