| Description |
 13TH ANNUAL SEATTLE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL 2008
REFUSENIK
MOHAI, Wednesday, April 9th, 6:00 PM
(U.S.A., 2007, 112 min, English/Russian/Hebrew)
Director Laura Bialis will attend the SJFF screening and post-film reception.
Topics:* Anti-Semitism, Soviet Jews, Civil & Human Rights, Cold War, Israel, American History
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)
