In
1959 at the height of the Cold War, a 19 year old American marine
defects to the Soviet Union and disappears behind the Iron Curtain. He would not only
be America’s most famous defector, but its most infamous assassin.
Lee Harvey Oswald is now one of the most well known and controversial
names of the century. Few people are aware of Oswald’s years
in Cold War Minsk - how he got there, how he acted, and why he
left. For the first time we can look at Oswald’s character
from a new perspective - the Russian perspective, to see if Lee
could indeed have acted alone in Dallas, Texas. Shot entirely in
Minsk over three years, this is a meticulously researched docudrama. |
