The Long Way Home is Michael Apted's (The UP Series, Incident at Oglala) rollicking, revealing documentary about Soviet underground rock star Boris Grebenshchikov's journey to the West in 1988 to make an album and bring it back home in the early, optimistic days of Glasnost. The film is a reminder of what might have been in Russia (and could yet be), and of the enduring power of music to raise spirits and resist tyranny and censorship.

Remastered and available for the first time in over 30 years, this edition of The Long Way Home features a newly-produced epilogue co-directed by original producer Steven Lawrence and editor Susanne Rostock.

Also featuring Annie Lennox, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Chrissie Hynde, Ray Cooper, Aquarium, and Dave Stewart

"[Keeper of the Fire] serves as a case study in how a poet can move hearts through words, public speaking, education, and community action... While the film will resonate especially strongly with viewers in California and the Bay Area, its themes of cultural identity, community activism, and artistic responsibility have broader relevance. Highly Recommended."

"To Use A Mountain is one of the most thought-provoking, stylistically innovative, and balanced documentaries in recent years to tackle complex issues around environmental justice, nuclear policy, and community voice... Ultimately, To Use A Mountain paints a poignant landscape between unfinished history and forever-becoming present, around a scientific, environment, and ethical issue that continues to be prominent in various debates around energy, economy, and technology."
-Hunter Vaughn, Emerson College for Educational Media Reviews Online (EMRO)

"Recommended. The film takes an honest and emotional journey as the town recounts its history. The interviews and personal stories are heart-wrenching and impactful... Excellent for the classroom and would prompt excellent discussions. The filmmakers present a revisionist perspective of the time and merits further discussion."
- Lorraine Wochna, retired Performing Arts librarian, Ohio University for Educational Media Reviews Online (EMRO)
