The Way Back
The Way Back is based on the story of the escape of soldiers from a Siberian gulag in 1940.
It is based on several sources, most notably the Slavomir Rawicz book The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom.
The book is Rawicz’s account of being captured by the Red Army in 1939 and his journey to freedom with other inmates.
When they escape a Siberian labor camp seven courageous multi-national prisoners discover the true meaning of friendship as their epic journey takes them across thousands of miles of hostile terrain en-route to India and their freedom.
