About the Book

WINNER - Best Cinematography - Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival OFFICIAL SELECTION - Jeonju Int'l Film Festival WINNER - Special Jury Prize - Prishtina Int'l Film Festival OFFICIAL SELECTION - Camerimage Film Festival ---...[A] potent account of the human cost of Soviet ethnic cleansing in the Baltic region ...
