After rock 'n' roll finds its way into the USSR, underground bands defy the KGB's crackdown in order to perform and fight back.

Oct 5, 2019

This movie makes a very convincing case that Rock and Roll brought down the Soviet Union. That's not hyperbole. You'll find yourself agreeing, not just intellectually. Besides, the Russian and Latvian musicians are articulate and best of all, they really do rock! And they put their butts on the line for the music. The production is first rate, and the concert scenes are riveting.
