Melting Siberia

The lives of most elderly citizens of the former Soviet Union were disrupted by numerous and repeated tragedies, including civil war, the Second World War, and famine. No group has suffered more than have its Jews. In "Melting Siberia", a middle-aged Israeli woman, whose elderly mother also lives in Israel, tracks down her father, a Jewish man who had been an officer in the Red Army and shamelessly abandoned her and her mother shortly after her birth.

Green Chariot

In "Green Chariot", the burning question of "who is a Jew" is tackled with sensitivity. A young Soviet immigrant, who has become observant and is engaged to an observant sabra, faces a moral crisis and test of the strength of his faith when he discovers that he may not be Jewish based on the rigorous standards of Orthodox Judaism. This film suggests that this issue may be resolvable in a manner that would be acceptable to all concerned.
