IHRE BEWERTUNG

It's Thanksgiving Day, 1970, the Atlantic Ocean. A US patrol boat meets a Soviet fishing vessel. A Soviet sailor jumps across the icy water onto the American boat in a frantic bid for freedom. To his horror, and to the outcry of the world media, the Americans return him to the Soviets. Through rare archival footage and a dramatic, first-person re-enactment by the would-be defector, 86-year-old Simas Kudirka, we relive one of the most unpredictable Cold War muddles.

A wonderful movie that will make you sad, happy, and somber

A Lithuanian friend of mine asked me to watch this. She knew I would like it, and I did. I loved it! I had never heard this story before, and I was too young when it happened to know anything about it.

But after knowing some Lithuanians and actually seeing the KGB prison for myself a few years ago, this movie really hit me hard. I wish everyone in the "western" countries would get to know some Lithuanians or anyone else who lived under the Soviet Union. When you get to know them and their stories, it makes you appreciate what we have here, despite our faults and problems.
