This film, V.I. Pudovkin’s 1928 masterpiece, is part fictional but the gorgeous aesthetic artistic license inspires contemporary people to see that the time is ripe to stand up and oppose colonialism and imperialism in all its forms. The power of people in parts of the world where primitive accumulation took place and where imperialism is intensifying today, inspires people to oppose it.

The Soviet Union had a vibrant film industry that depicted the Russian people and their struggles and how they collectively overcame their problems to make a society fit for human beings to live in.

Many youth and students, and Canadians of all backgrounds, are not educated to understand the history of the Soviet Union and what it meant for the entire world, not to mention the decisive role of the Soviet Union in the Nazi defeat in WW11. We aim to educate and inspire Haligonians to stand up against the imperial war mongers and also to learn about the achievements of the Soviet people.
