Four documentaries about the events of the evacuation from Crimea in 1920 were created by the Congress of Russian Americans. The series is dedicated to the centenary of the Russian Exodus. The filmmakers interviewed three members of the evacuation.

Initially, it was planned to create one film but the authors managed to find so many descendants of the participants in the Russian Exodus that it was decided to make four episodes in order to fit in all the interesting stories.

The family archives of the descendants of Russian emigrants, museum and archival materials from Moscow, Sevastopol, New York, San Francisco, Bizerte and other cities of the world were used to create the documentaries. 

All the films are avialable on YouTube.
