The Cars We Drove into Capitalism (2021)

Genre : Documentary, History, TV Movie

Runtime : 1H 33M

Director : Georgi Bogdanov, Boris Missirkov

Synopsis

A cinematic, character-driven insight to what it meant to produce and to own a car in communist times: the Socialist propaganda dreams and the hard reality of living that dream. The freedom that these slow and clumsy vehicles were giving to their owners; the cars as an instrument in the Cold War battle; legends and homemade tune-ups as an attempt to stand at least a little bit off the crowd.
