Chronicles a sinister and oft-forgotten chapter in history: in June, 1941, Soviet forces purged the populations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, executing the men and transporting the women and children to Siberian labor camps. Told through the lens of one Estonian family, In the Crosswind has no dialogue— only voiceover narration from the film’s source material, a diary discovered in Siberia.
