Rating:  - Underrated! Very moving video for families to learn from!
This video does an outstanding job of conveying historically accurate truths about the hideous results of atheist-based communism like extremely few books and videos do. I'm concerned that other reviewer's criticism of the non-Hollywood quality may keep you from viewing it. This video was so professionally done that it was broadcast during prime time by CBS. Watch it and gain wisdom. Five stars from me.
Rating:  - Book is MUCH better - the movie has much to be desired
"Coming Out of the Ice" by Victor Herman is one of the greatest books of all time - if you haven't read it yet, go find a used copy ASAP. It will bless your life, your perspectives will change, and you will be less likely to take anything for granted again.
Unfortunately, the movie adaption of this book was a disappointment. Ninety minutes and a shoestring budget cannot come near to adequately filming this amazing story.
This movie needs to be remade into a 3+ hour ... Read More
Rating:  - Coming out of the ice
I am interested in Russia and these type of Personal experience stories so for the me the movie was interesting.
I did feel that it could never be mistaken for a real move but rather a low budget 4 TV production.
Limited sets and music, acting was okay,the NY accent was too heavy and distracting.
The story line is impressive and the only thing which makes this movie enjoyable. If you like Russian history and Persons overcoming lifes trials you will enjoy it.
Rating: - Read The Book Instead
The book is an incredible story of the atrocities and hardships that Victor Herman overcame in the gulags of Siberia...and if you can find a copy, it is highly recommended.
The movie is not faithful to the book. I would say maybe 50% of the scenes follow the book, but are so "watered down" (it is rated PG, but Herman's experience was much more horrible than could be captured in a PG movie) as to give a wrong impression and even to trivialize what Herman accomplished in just surviving the ...

Rating: - Life in a Soviet Gulag
This is a fabulous movie about the life of Charles Voorman who lived in Russia in the 30's and was imprisoned in a Soviet Gulag in Siberia for 40 years. Both a great humanitarian story and interesting from a political standpoint. Willie Nelson plays a friend of Charlie and does a fabulous job of acting. Highly recommended.
