IMDB ?  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1023114/
Siberian gulag escapees walk 4000 miles overland to freedom in India.
The cast is a clever mix of seasoned pros & relative newcomers.

At the dawn of WWII, several men escape from a Russian gulag.
The film details their perilous & uncertain journey to freedom,
as they cross deserts, mountains, & several nations.
In the time of war, WW2, Poland,
Betrayed ? Judged and stabbed by law ?
captured by Stalin or Hitler, communism,
slavery-camps, criminals and poor people,
a team to escape ? Janusk finds his group.

Snow, a plan, ransom, Valka and a knife, a Stalin tatoo, ... .
From camp into a snow-storm-forrest, passing the lake, wolves, crossing the dessert in sands and sahara-land, a well, drought, a snake, the Chinese wall up to the himalaya to Tibet and into India tea-and freedom.
Janusk arrives in Poland and meets his wife again after the war.
