Film Screening: My Perestroika by Robin Hessman
Presented in conjunction with The Wende Museum
7:00pm
Free with museum admission
My Perestroika tells the stories of five Moscow schoolmates — 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. Through candid first-
person testimony, revealing verité footage, and vintage home movies, the film reveals a
Russia rarely ever seen. Film has a running time of 87 minutes. To find out more visit
myperestroika.com.
