The first uncensored documentary about the Soviet Union ever made by an outsider. The film takes viewers to 12 of the 15 states of the former USSR.

As the first American television crew allowed into Cuba since the 1959 revolution, filmmakers Jon Alpert and Keiko Tsuno travel across the island documenting daily life under Fidel Castro. Through interviews with farmers, workers, and families, the film offers a rare ground-level portrait of Cuban society fifteen years after the revolution.
