Plot Summary:A documentary about the first Soviet labor camp created by Lenin in 1923, that became the \"mother of the GULAG\" prison system according to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
Fascinating documentary on the Solovki Gulag, based on interviews with former prisoners, and even former guards. I only searched for this film to fill a request but watching it affected me deeply. I also recommend reading the chapter about the movie in the director's autobiography.
