German Film: As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me

Uncategorized Download To My Calendar
The once powerful Sixth Army, Hitler's pride and joy, has been unceremoniously defeated by the Red Army. Thousands of German soldiers are scattered amongst the frozen lands of Russia. Some will soon die of hunger while other will last a bit longer before they rot alive in the deadly GULAGs. At Camp Dezhnev, the eastern-most point of Russia, Clemens Forell will begin a three-year journey through the heart of Siberia, at the end of which there is freedom.

Based on the true story of a Nazi soldier who did the impossible and walked nearly 14 000 (fourteen thousand) kilometers before reaching Tabris, Iran from where he was flown back to Munich So weit die F??e tragen a.k.a As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me (2001) is a film that boggles the mind. Certainly having the strength to endure three years of the never-ending Siberian tundra, hunger, and pain seems impossible. Yet, day after day one man would look at the picture of his family, talk to himself, and pray that God gives him one more chance to celebrate Christmas. He would nearly go insane. - DVD Talk
