My Perestroika

Feature Documentary | 2010 | 88 min.

My Perestroika follows five ordinary Russians living in extraordinary times -- from their sheltered Soviet childhood, to the collapse of the USSR during their adolescence, to the constantly shifting political landscape of contemporary Russia. Together, these childhood classmates paint a complex picture of the dreams and disillusionment of those raised behind the Iron Curtain.
