Commemorating the Great Escape:Mass Flight (Suurpõgenemine), September 1944.

Estonian Arts Centre (Toronto) and SAESC.EKÜK (Vancouver) collaborated to create this 35 minute film capturing the escape stories of seven Vancouver Estonians.
We are grateful to have produced these recollections under FILMIST Studio: Vancouver with the expertise of ruudi productions last summer.

We extend our heartful condolences to the family of Raul Vabasalu, one of our interviewees, who passed away earlier this year.
