Description of the content Birobidzhan, Biro-bidjan, Birobidzsan. Who knows how are you supposed to write it, or how many different ways you can pronunce it, but these are certainly not the biggest mysteries about the capital of the Jewish Autonomous Territory. This territory, the „alternative Israel" of Stalin by nowadays has become a prosperous territory, althought it has lost its function. In 1937 it has resembled a working camp, and in 2007 it is celebrating the 70th anniversary of it’s existence. The documentary by New Angle Film will be tell this story.
