This documentary, filmed in 1990, challenges American perceptions of perestroika and glasnost in the USSR. Through intimate discussions with Soviet citizens in their homes, the film explores their experiences during times of turmoil and scarcity. In the process, they compared their experience of living in the USSR with what they knew of life in the US, painting their own picture of Americans and their daily lives.
