From Russia to Israel At five o'clock every morning, the Chopin Express crosses the border into Austria - the last two coaches filled with Jews from Russia who have been allowed to emigrate to Israel. For more than a year this unprecedented exodus has been taking place. In 1972 it is expected that more than 30,000 Soviet Jews will be granted exit visas. This documentary follows the journey by train and air from the Czechoslovakian border to the arrival in Israel. The immigrants have had to leave almost all their possessions in Russia. How do they learn to live, not with the dream of a Promised Land but with the reality of modern Israel? Producer MISCHA SCORER
