The film follows 89 year old Eduard Kolga, as he returns to the far north of Russia to find the camp that he was incarcerated in during 1941, after he, along with 30,000 other Estonian men, were illegally forced to mobilize with the Soviet Red Army. Eduard recounts his harrowing tale of survival in the Soviet camp system where one third of his countrymen died as a result of forced labour and inhumane living conditions – including starvation, disease and malnutrition.
The film’s writer and director, Marcus Kolga, is a Canadian human rights activist, journalist and analyst of foreign disinformation and influence operations. He led the Canadian civil society campaign for Magnitsky sanctions legislation and continues to advocate on behalf of human rights victims around the world.
