As America edges closer to a split between factions, this movie is a must see. It describes a true story with eloquence using first hand witness accounts of the Russian revolution. We learn what really happened in the early 20th century to cause the revolt. In addition, we can see the interim period of democratic rule under Alexander Kerensky, before the oligarchy led by Lenin came to power. Plus, it is a noteworthy love story. After seeing it I read everything I could find written by the participants. This movie is absolutely faithful to the truth. By intermission you want to go out and find a revolution to join. This is history at its best.
