Refusenik is the first retrospective documentary to chronicle the 30-year movement to free Soviet Jews. It shows how a small grassroots effort, bold enough to take on a Cold War superpower, blossomed into an international human-rights campaign. Told through the eyes of activists on both sides of the Iron Curtain - many of whom survived punishment in Soviet Gulag labor camps - the film weaves first-person accounts of heroism, sacrifice and ultimately liberation. Many of the photographs and covert film footage - some smuggled out of the Soviet Union - have never been seen before by audiences.
Community Partners: Henry M. Jackson Foundation and Pacific Northwest Regional Office of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
Note: Director Laura Bialis will attend. Please join the Henry M. Jackson Foundation Board of Governors as they host a special reception for her after the screening in MOHAI's McCurdy Gallery.
