On May 18, 1944, the indigenous people of Crimea were deported from their homes. A new generation of Crimean Tatars was born in exile in distant Uzbekistan. But together with their parents they came a difficult and long way home – a path filled with non-violent resistance, rallies, protests, millions of appeals and petitions, hunger strikes, years of prisons and detention camps. According to the authors' words: That’s why we want every Crimean Tatar to take part in this project. It’s important for all of us – for our children, for our grandparents. This is important for our past, but most importantly for our future.
