Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania (1972)

Jonas and Adolfas Mekas arrived in America in 1949 as displaced persons, former prisoners of German labor camps, exiled from their native Lithuanian farming village. Wanted by the Soviet police, they had been forced to leave home years earlier, not to return for 27 years. 'Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania' is the compelling document of a divided family and their long-delayed reunion. Successively moving, indulgent, beautiful, poetic, banal, repetitious and bravely, heedlessly personal.
