Director : Gabe Polsky
Running Time : 84 mins
This documentary looks at the world famous Red Army hockey team from the Former Soviet Union through a series of interviews with some of the players and others involved in the games, and how as the years progressed, many of the players defected to the USA to play for more money and became political enemies of their own country.
I’m not big on documentaries, but when I was recommended this I sat down and watched it – and actually found myself enjoying it! It was so interesting hearing how the Soviet hockey team were trained to do nothing but play hockey, then realised that they could make considerably more money by turning their backs on their communist ways and embracing capitalism. Well worth watching even if you don’t like hockey, or even sport in general.
