Red Zion - new documentrary film

[mipco]

«Red Zion», 2006
Documentary film by Evgenii Tsimbal (Moscow, Russia)

This film tells a compelling story about creation of Jewish autonomy 
in Crimea (USSR) in 1920-s.
Soviet government was concealing its history and only recently the 
well-known Russian film director Evgenii Tsimbal got access to film 
and documents archives and based his work on it.
Soviet leaders wanted to keep Jews from emigration to Palestine and 
allowed them to form agricultural communes on rich lands of Crimea. 
Over hundred thousands Jews moved there and the plan was to move over 
half a million by 1934.
However by the end of 1927 the Communist party made a decision to 
dismantle Jewish autonomy in Crimea and to move it to Far East Russia.
The film shows sorrow and joy of tens of thousands of people who were 
involved in this gigantic project.

Evgenii Tsimbal is the prominent film director, the winner of many 
Russian and international awards.
