The documentary film Forgive Me, Sergey is a story of love, betrayal and forgiveness between two people who never met. It is an example of how the ideological war between the Soviet Union and the United States dramatically affected the fates of those living in the Twentieth Century. A 20-year-old Soviet sailor Sergey Kourdakov, on the third of September 1971, jumped from his ship in the Pacific Ocean and barely made it alive to the Canadian shore.
Before his death in 1973, he wrote his autobiography, which sold millions worldwide. This book inspired young American woman, Caroline Walker, to make a journey to Russia looking for truth about Sergey’s life.
Caroline Walker will be present to answer questions.
