Description

Shot on location in Georgia and Russia, this documentary examines how the bloodiest dictator in world history commanded the allegiance and adulation of the Soviet Union during his lifetime and how his influence lives on beyond the grave. It employs a wealth of archive material, eyewitness accounts, reconstructions in original locations, and myriad examples of Stalin's artistic legacy, in its scrutiny of the dictator's career and his cult, past and present.
