Documentary movie Screening and Q&A with the movie director, Vladimir Vysotsky.  He is a Russian actor, poet, songwriter, and performer who was considered “the voice of the heart of a nation,” and whose career had an immense and enduring effect on Soviet and Russian culture.

He became widely known for his unique singing style and for his lyrics, which featured social and political commentary in often humorous street jargon. His wide-ranging and forthright poems were considered subversive by the Soviet authorities and were barred from publication, but they were the cultural lifeblood for many Russians. Vysotsky was an immensely popular figure who continues to be revered, read, and listened to long after his death.
