The Endless Steppe
Based on the novel The Endless Steppe by Esther Hautzig.
Developed with the UK Film Council.
Director: Sarah Gavron.
Esther Rudomin - Lalinka - is ten years old in 1941 when she and her Polish Jewish family are arrested by the Russians and exiled to Siberia. That first night, huddled into cattle trucks on a train to who knows where, Esther's father rallies his stunned and terrified family and together they make a promise. They swear that whatever is demanded of them in this new and hostile world, they will survive - not just as individuals, but as a family, as the cultured, loving, decent, and courageous Rudomins.
Filming is expected to start in late 2007.
