Legendary Australian writer and director Peter Weir returns to independent film making with this harrowing tale of survival. A group of prisoners escape a Siberian Gulag for a 4000 miles journey to freedom in India. While Weir is a master filmmaker with a keen eye for story and stellar performances, this inspired story lacks the authenticity of an actual story where usually the truth is stranger than fiction like the similar themed German film "As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me." The terrific cast includes Ed Harris, Jim Sturgess, Colin Farrell and Saoirse Ronan. YRCinema's coverage of upcoming releases.
