"A rockumentary with a fascinating difference — all the usual trappings of the genre [are] swallowed up by much bigger themes of nationality, artistic integrity, and the creative spur of oppression[...] A masterly film."
— The Times of London
Boris Grebenshchikov and his band Aquarium were the first Soviet citizens to record a record for a label in the west, during the transformative Glasnost period. Directed by seminal filmmaker Michael Apted (The UP Series, Incident at Oglala), The Long Way Home tracks this one of a kind journey, and is finally being released after a long bout of unavailability following its premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. This remastered and expanded release includes a newly produced epilogue that catches up with Grebenshchikov in the midst of his expulsion from Russia after he spoke out against the invasion of Ukraine.
Featuring such luminaries as Annie Lennox and Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Long Way Home is sure to enrapture fans of music and film alike, as well as those interested in Soviet and Slavic histories, as it celebrates the power of the arts as a force for activism and social change.
