Outside the Sphere

Käsitletavateks teemadeks on režiimi eest pagemine läände ja raskused uue elu alustamisel. Hiljuti avaldatud CIA dokumentidel põhinev film uurib kuidas KGB 60'ndatel aastatel Kanadas balti kogukondi lõhestada ja hävitada püüdis ja kuidas need oma järjepidevuse suutsid säilitada.

Outside The Sphere examines the history of the Baltic communities in North America: the tyranny they narrowly escaped and the challenges they faced in building new lives in the West. Drawing on recently released CIA documents, the film investigates how the KGB attempted to infiltrate and destroy Baltic communities in Canada in the 1960's and how these communities withstood Soviet provocation. The film also takes a look at how the Soviet legacy still haunts the fragile state of Baltic security and freedom.
