Refusenik
Documentary
Jewish, History, Biography
2007
Synopsis:
Refusenik chronicles the thirty-year international movement to free Soviet Jews. Told through the eyes of activists on both sides of the Iron Curtain (including interviews with Natan Sharansky and L.A. Country Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky) - many of whom survived punishment in Soviet Gulag labor camps - the film is a tapestry of first-person accounts of heroism, sacrifice, and ultimately, liberation. Ordinary people who—with no money or political power—successfully launched an ecumenical, non-violent movement that crossed all ethnic, racial, and religious boundaries. What had started as a fledgling movement of students and housewives eventually freed one and a half million Soviet Jews, and cracked the seemingly impenetrable wall of Soviet Communism.
