The Cars We Drove into Capitalism

The Cars We Drove into Capitalism

7.0/1020211h 33m
Released

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.

Director: Georgi Bogdanov
