A comical and thought-provoking compilation of the little-seen Communist musical productions shot throughout the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War era. While these musicals were less successful than their Hollywood counterparts and strove to promote their political ideology as much as to entertain, their heroes–valiant farmers and brave factory workers–exhibited as much moxie as any MGM “backstage babies.” Contains clips interwoven with erudite commentary and interview footage. Margarita Andrushkovich (Actor), Chris Doerk (Actor), Dana Ranga (Director, Producer, Writer) Run time ‏ : ‎ 1 hour and 18 minutes
Release date ‏ : ‎ September 5, 2000
