Alex Massis' Florida-based The Film Source Company has picked up worldwide rights in all media to Stuart Urban's documentary Tovarisch, I Am Not Dead.

Urban's film is a personal journey to solve the mystery surrounding his late father, Garri Urban, a survivor of the Holocaust and the Gulag who may have been a spy.

The film won the 2008 Audience Award at the Punto De Vista Documentary Festival and the 2007 Lancia Award from Italy's Biography Festival, among others.

'As the film's title defiantly proclaims, Garri Urban is not dead,' Film Source's vice president of acquisitions Edward Jordon said. 'He lives on through the amazing storytelling of his son. This is not your typical documentary. It's a poignant character study and spy thriller, all wrapped up into one!'
