This is an early silent drama that deals with the Siberian exile system that existed in Tsarist Russia that eased for a brief period, and then continued with a vengeance as the Gulag system under the Soviets. It is based upon a stage play by John Oxenham and stars Clara Kimball Young and Montagu Love. From the Internet Archive. http://silent-film-swicki.eurekster.com

I need to be reminded when Greta Nissen's 100th birthday is, only because she was a silent film actress that can be introduced that way, like the Greta Garbo stamp.
Please leave a comment if you have a webpage on the actress or a filmography of the films in which she appeared.
