Logline:
“Camel from Kyzylkum” is an award-winning memoir about the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of immigrating from the Soviet Union in the late twentieth century. It touches on the themes of hope, struggle, family, and loss, while highlighting the compelling desire for people to focus on freedom and self-determination. Readers will gain a better understanding of how much work and risk people will endure reaching for a better life.

Synopsis:
Travel from Ukraine to the Kyzylkum Desert of Uzbekistan, from the Soviet Union to Austria, then Italy, and eventually America, all while following the author’s journey to find her truth and future. “Camel from Kyzylkum” depicts the life of an ordinary person in a country that does not exist anymore — the Soviet Union and the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of a woman to find her freedom and a better life. It shows that the journey of a refugee, in this case from the Soviet Union to the USA, doesn’t end when you arrive in a new country with all your possessions fit in two suitcases. It is the story of one of the millions of immigrants who have realized their dream in America and a reminder that this country is a land of opportunity. This story, enriched by themes of hope, struggle, family, and loss, is a vivid testament to the human spirit’s resilience. Therefore, this book would be a great material for a film project.
