Hello and welcome to the Don’t be Afraid Podcast, my name is Andrew thank you for listening.

In the Siberian Wasteland what would you do to get back home?

This is the story of a Polish Lieutenant sent to the gulags of the Soviet Union and the thousands of miles trekked to get back home. I’m going to talk to you about The Way Back. The Way Back is a sometimes somber adventure film based on the 1956 book The Long Walk.

There are valid arguments questioning the veracity of the tale but I'm going to focus on the story in the film and use it as a backdrop for discussing the Gulag system among other things.

Peter Weir the director has made many successful films not all to my taste or liking including Witness, The Truman Show, Dead Poets Society and, Master and Commander. I think looking at those few it’s more thematically I am challenged to appreciate some of his work. But I'm aware he's a competent storyteller and takes his work seriously he's not making fluff like a Transformers 37 or Avengers Blow up the Earth.
