This documentary is not only about one of the greatest hockey teams ever but it is also about the world at the time of the Cold War and hence acts as a primer to the flavor of relations between the former USSR and the West. It also provides a penetrating insight into the Russian character and attitudes. This can help us understand the current regime of Putin's Russia and the Russian mind. Gabe Polsky's interviews with Slava Fetisov - a somewhat prickly subject at times-is the core feature, giving us a compelling story of politics, skilled playing, friendship, betrayal and national pride. As well as interviews, there is archival footage and poster art and a curious beginning clip featuring former US President Ronald Reagan. Executive Produced by Werner Herzog.
