Description of the content A rolling narrative, a probing biographical chronicle, a road movie, exploring one of the twentieth century’s most extraordinary survivors. Garri Urban, a Polish Jew, survived and escaped from both the Holocaust and the Gulag. Over 15 years, his son, a two-time British Academy award winnning director, investigated this singular story.
