SUMMARY:Refusenik
DESCRIPTION:Film Synopsis: \nREFUSENIK is the first retrospective documentary to chronicle the thirty-year movement to free Soviet Jews. It shows how a small grassroots effort bold enough to take on a Cold War superpower blossomed into an international human rights campaign that engaged the disempowered and world leaders alike. 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. \nREFUSENIK illustrates how individuals can utilize the power inherent in a tolerant democracy and literally change the world. The tactics and methods developed by activists in this struggle became examples to the rest of the world\, forever changing the human rights landscape. \nRuntime: 120 min. Release year: 2008. Language: English. \n*Film shown in conjunction with Russian 191: Russian Jews of Los Angeles on Display \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies
