Documentary film by Dzintra Geka, 2010.


15,424 people who could not pursue their dreams. Thousands of devastated families and destroyed lives. Hundreds of structures never built. Thousands of hectares of land never tilled. Hundreds of books and poems never written, artworks never painted, pieces of music never composed. Millions of kind words never spoken, billions of lost thoughts and dreams. Thousands of children not born and not loved. Millions of caresses lost by those who were orphans and widows.
The Rev Guntis Kalme
