"Shedding light on the forced deportation of over 1 million Polish women
and children to the frigid Soviet labor camps of Siberia during WWII."

Spearheaded by the Polish Ladies Auxiliary of Seattle, this film is intended
to fufill a lifelong promise made by the ladies themselves- to bring this tragic
and secret part of history to the forefront. Afraid to discuss their pasts until
the early 1990's, the ladies share their stories of survival, ourage and heartbreak
through candid interviews and vivid, animated recreations.

Written, Directed & Illustrated by Shannon Hart-Reed
Produced by Grazyna Balut Ostrom & Martha Golubiec
