My Perestroika to air on PBS June 28

[Andrea Lanoux]

Dear Colleagues,

I recently learned that the film My Perestroika (dir. Robin Hessman,  
2010) is scheduled to air on PBS on June 28. For those who haven't  
seen it, it's a great documentary about a group of Russian school  
friends who came of age in the early 1990s, and it contains some  
amazing documentary footage and excerpts from home movies. I showed it  
to students in my freshman seminar this past fall and they loved it --  
Robin Hessman came to the class to talk about the film, and her  
stories of going to film school in Russia and living there in the  
1990s made it one of the best and most popular events of the semester.

You can read more about the film at http://myperestroika.com/dvd/, or  
at http://www.pbs.org/pov/myperestroika/. If you wish to contact Robin  
directly with questions, she can be reached at info at myperestroika.com.

Warm regards,
Andrea Lanoux
