Vanessa Rosenthal - Exchanges in Bialystok

Three people journey to Poland, bringing to the surface complex questions about forgiveness and tolerance. Stars David Horovitch.

Deborah Goldber and her Great Uncle Sol are on a pilgrimage to Bialystok in Poland.

It's 1996 and the country is now more welcoming to tourists. Tourists bring dollars. Dariusz, a local guide, is happy to help them uncover what little remains of Bialystok's Jewish past. Unknown to them he has also arranged for another "tourist" to join their party - Lorna Harris, a retired librarian from Kent.

Lorna has a mysterious agenda of her own in seeking out the past and her presence is deeply intrusive for Deborah. The journey for all three brings to the surface complex questions about forgiveness and tolerance.

Vanessa Rosenthal's drama stars David Horovitch as Sol Goldber, Alison Pettitt as Deborah Goldber, Katharine Barker as Lorna Harris, David Schneider as Dariusz Pogonowski and Andrew Wincott as the Reverend Harris.

Producer: David Ian Neville
