Gerda -- Film Description:
"By integrating archival newsreel footage from the time [...] with reenactments of Gerda's party-girl antics, her struggles to acquire the good things in life, her memories of being raped by Russian soldiers at age 13, and her final ostracization in Canada, Brenda Longfellow has created a powerful portrait of a woman used and betrayed by a patriarchal and self-interested political system."
