Director Ondrej Krajňák, 2009 Slovakia, 45 min.
Gabriel Levicky will introduce the film and lead the discussion following the screening.
In cooperation with Ústav pamäti národa (Institute of National Memory) in Bratislava, and the Consulate General of the Slovak Republic in New York.
This excellent documentary film confronts and exposes the experiences of the last surviving Slovak slave laborers who, despite all odds, miraculously survived the Stalinist labor camps. The film follows their cruel fate from their arrest until their release and return, when constantly surrounded by hostilities and death under dehumanizing conditions in the harsh, unforgiving natural environment.
In Slovak with English subtitles.
