A Documentary Film by Robin Hessman

" ...playful, insightful, hypnotic, and, ultimately, superb."

– Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine

MY PERESTROIKA 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 disillusionments of those raised behind the Iron Curtain.
