Robin Hessman, producer, writer, and director (Red Square Productions, 2010)

The film follows five ordinary Russians living in extraordinary times — from their sheltered Soviet childhood, to the collapse of the Soviet Union during their teenage years, to the constantly shifting political landscape of post-Soviet Russia. Together, these childhood classmates paint a complex picture of the dreams and disillusionment of those raised behind the Iron Curtain.

Filmmaker Robin Hessman will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward.
