CCA 4 Friday 17th October 1.45-2.45 pm My Husband Andrei Sakharov Inara Kolmane Latvia 2006 / 52 Mins How
did "brains" of the Soviet regime - an academician, "the father" of the
hydrogen bomb, an outstanding intellectual for whom even in the Kremlin
all doors were open - become a champion of human rights, a prisoner of
conscience and an internationally renowned enemy of the system?
My Husband Andrei Sakharov attempts to answer this question by confronting Sakharov's former colleagues and others who lived through those times- among them, his widow Yelena Bonner, and the last secretary general of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev.
By presenting the facts and through the impact of the archive footage itself,
the film raises issues of power versus guarantees of human freedom- issues
relevant not only in the Russia of today. |
