[FILM] As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me.

[Von Reich]

I thought this was a very good movie mainly because it was told from an aspect I have not seen before....A German soldier/prisoner trying to make it home from the East Front.

Very good acting, an interesting plot and well filmed. I was thoroughly entertained watching it. Available on NetFlix.

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.
Much of the dialogue in the film takes place in languages other than German, such as Russian, Chukchi, and Persian. No subtitles are provided, deliberately so as to impart upon the audience the sense of helplessness felt by the main character, who knows very little Russian.

The original was a six part movie from 1959.
