What My Perestroika Is About

The documentary is about five people from the last generation to grow up in the Soviet Union. All of them went to the same school and learned the same ceremonies, the same anthems and the same future; then, just as they were coming into adulthood, the country broke apart and the world they grew up in became unrecognisable. The film follows how these people live in Moscow today; one is a teacher, one keeps a shop, another does something else. The account neither longs for the past nor uses it to condemn; it sets each person’s own telling side by side and shows how differently the same events are remembered. Robin Hessman’s eighty eight minute documentary was completed in 2010.
