About This Movie

Atcerēties vai aizmirst? offers a raw and deeply personal glimpse into the lives of Cēsis district residents as they navigate their haunting memories. The film features Vizma Rass, Zigrīda Perevalova, and Andris Eglītis sharing their poignant experiences from school days to the harrowing deportations of 1941, taking us through the bitter landscapes of Siberia. The pacing feels unhurried, allowing the weight of their testimonies to settle. There's an authenticity here that’s hard to find, augmented by footage from Dz.Geka’s earlier works, weaving a texture of historical context that’s as much about individual pain as it is about collective memory. It’s this blend of personal narrative and history that makes the documentary stand out.
