Imbi Paju

Imbi Paju (born June 3, 1959 Jõgevamaa, Estonia) is an Estonian-born journalist, writer and filmmaker resident in Finland.[1]

Paju has been operating in Finland as a correspondent of the Estonian newspapers Eesti Päevaleht and Postimees. Before Estonia's re-independence, she worked in Tartu's Vanemuine Theatre opera chorus.

In 2006, her book "Memories Denied" was published in Estonian, Swedish and Russian languages. Paju has also made a documentary of the same name, Memories Denied, which examined Paju's own family struggle during the Soviet period.

In 2009, she completed a documentary "Sisters Across the Gulf of Finland" which tells the story of the cooperation and friendship between the members of the Estonian and Finnish voluntary auxiliary organizations for women (Naiskodukaitse and Lotta Svärd) that began in the 1920s and was cut off by World War II and the Soviet occupation of Estonia.
