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.
