So weit die Füße tragen

So weit die Füße tragen
As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me

“   As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me (German: So weit die Füße tragen) is a 2001 film about German World War II prisoner of war Clemens Forell's escape from a Siberian Gulag in Russia back to Germany. It is based on the eponymous book written by Josef Martin Bauer. The book is in turn based on the story of Cornelius Rost who used the alias "Clemens Forell" to avoid retribution from the KGB.

    Reminds one of Victor Herman's story of survival in the Gulag, Coming Out of the Ice.

    I watched Apocalypto the other night for the first time, and I know what Mel Gibson was thinking. No matter what travesty occurs in a culture with faith, this is what you have without it. Evil triumphs, and it's ugly.
