The slugline caught my attention: "A radical American journalist becomes involved with the Communist revolution in Russia, and hopes to bring its spirit and idealism to the United States."
Can anyone here recommend it or should I go in expecting McCarthyism/reductionist takes?
Edit: thanks to everyone for the advice!! I'm definitely gonna watch it sometime this week.
Just look up the best clips on YouTube. Lenin cameo, Trot***, the Soviet workers, the trial in the senate, the train attack. It’s a long movie, but good.
