The Library and the Westport Arts Center present Refusenik, the first retrospective documentary to chronicle the thirty-year movement to free Soviet Jews, showing how a small grass roots effort bold enough to take on a Cold War superpower blossomed into an international human rights campaign that engaged the disempowered and world leaders alike. Told through the eyes of activists on both sides of the Iron Curtain —many of whom survived punishment in Soviet Gulag labor camps — the film is a tapestry of first-person accounts of heroism, sacrifice, and ultimately, liberation. (117 min) Discussion to follow led by Kyle Seaburg, a film teacher at Norwalk High School, and several of his students.
