Refusenik
A film by Laura Bialis
Not Rated, 117 min, In English, Russian and Hebrew with English subtitles

“Visually and intellectually brisk, the movie is as lively as its subjects’ gumption is humbling.”
  - Mark Holcomb, Time Out New York
Refusenik chronicles the thirty-year international movement to free Soviet Jews. The first retrospective film about the movement, it has been called a "seminal" work on the subject. 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 is a tapestry of first person accounts of heroism, sacrifice, and ultimately, liberation.
