In New York, at the UN headquarters, the premiere screening of a Russian motion picture entitled "Sobibor" took place. The show was held with the participation of the famous actor Konstantin Khabensky, who this time also acted as a director for the first time. The film was released in Russia on May 3 and tells about the events of October 1943, when an uprising began in one of the Nazi camps.
During his speech at the headquarters of the world organization, Khabensky noted that he respects all workers, since he believes that they really have the strength to make sure that children, and then grandchildren and future generations lived in peace, shared with each other with their culture. The main idea of creating the film "Sobibor" is to make every viewer think about what he lives for and what he strives for?
Konstantin Khabensky decided to visit not only New York with his film. He has a whole tour planned in support of the new motion picture. It began in Warsaw and is due to end in Berlin on May 9th. The film is also shown in Washington at the Russian Embassy. State Department officials and various diplomatic missions were invited to the show. The UN audience was attended by representatives of different countries: Israel, Belarus, China, Tunisia, Germany, Uzbekistan, etc. There were representatives of various public organizations and veterans of the Great Patriotic War who live in New York among the audience. They decided to hold the show in the original language., that is, in Russian, with the addition of English subtitles. At the end of the film, all the audience stood up and applauded.
The main character of the film "Sobibor" is Alexander Pechersky, played by Konstantin Khabensky himself. This man actually existed and stood at the head of the Sobibor extermination camp uprising in 1943. This camp was in Poland. This is the only time in history that an uprising in the Nazi camp was successful.
The picture tells how the main character is captured and, together with like-minded Soviet prisoners of war, begins to develop a plan for the uprising, in which other military men from many European countries took part. This picture was based on the book "Alexander Pechersky: Breakthrough into Immortality", written by Ilya Vasiliev. The script for the film was written by Alexander Adabashyan. Filmmakers and actors from Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Germany and France worked together to create the picture.
