Collection of films that documents the communist world, from the Russian Revolution to the end of the Cold War. Reveals all aspects of life behind the Iron Curtain, as seen by filmmakers from the USSR, Vietnam, China, Korea, much of Eastern Europ, the GDR, Britain, and Cuba. (Coverage: early 20th c. - 1980s)
Providing a counterpoint to Western perceptions of communist states and their actions, the films illuminate how socialist countries saw themselves and the world around them during the major political and social events of the 20th century. The footage was originally sourced from communist states, then versioned into English language for private distribution in Britain and the West.
