In 1945, as the Second World War neared its end, the Allied powers signed the Yalta Accord, allowing the USSR to forcibly repatriate any person conisdered to be a former national, including over a million Ukrainian refugees stranded in Germany.
But when a group of Canadian soldiers, led by Flight Lieutenant Bohdan Panchuk, lobbied the Allied powers to override Yalta, hundreds of thousands of refugees were able to escape the grip of the USSR.
Along with first person accounts, this movie includes rare audio interviews made with Panchuk prior to his death in 1987 along with never before seen film footage shot by Lieutenant Panchuk while visiting many of the camps in Europe after the war.
