Obliging Collaborators

2014

Documentary

90min

Every nation has its heroes and its anti-heroes. The first get all the publicity, while the latter usually end up in the “history’s dump”. But it is not right, since if history is there to learn from it, it’s the anti-heroes who can teach us the most valuable lessons. This is a compelling story, never told before, about collaborationists in post-war Latvia and how they helped the KGB to kill off the anti-Soviet resistance movement.
