Trans Sibirian Express - Dersu Uzala

This Academy Award  winner  movie of great visual and spiritual beauty is based on a memoir by the Russian army engineer Captain Vladimir Arsenyev about his friendship with a nomadic hunter, Dersu Uzala, of the remote Nanai tribe, known at the time as the Goldi people. Uzala twice saved Arsenyev's life while acting as a guide to his surveying expedition in remote eastern Siberia during the first years of the 20th century, the first time in a blizzard, the second after an accident on a raft in a fast-flowing river.
