My Perestroika

Robin Hessman, United States, 2010

74 min.Documentary

My Perestroika follows five ordinary Russians living in extraordinary times ¿ from sheltered Soviet childhoods, to the collapse of the USSR during adolescence, to the constantly shifting political landscape of post-Soviet Russia. Using a wealth of footage rarely seen outside of Russia ¿ My Perestroika combines an intimate view of the past with the contemporary lives of former schoolmates, painting a complex picture of the dreams and disillusionment of those raised behind the Iron Curtain.
