1944. Deportation

In 1944, the Crimean Tatars endured a protracted exile marked by famine, illness, and loss. In the early years of exile, almost half of the deported Crimean Tatars perished. Those who survived carried one dream: to return to Crimea. The documentary 1944 chronicles the tragedy of the Crimean Tatar people through several distinct life stories. These narratives are cherished by every Crimean Tatar family and must be remembered by generations to come.
