GOLD RUSH 16 x 48 min.
For those naive souls who think
that socialism was a great political system, this original series is an amazing
case study on why it wasn’t. Filmed in an old Siberian
town with real gold mines, magnificent nature, and plenty of period character,
the series is bound to get a gold star with any audience.
Set
in the 70s, series revolves around a very strong character, former WWII veteran
who’s now in charge of a gold mine and is trying to make it a perfect case of
social justice and prosperity for his employees. He invests all his own money
and profits into buying new equipment and paying top salaries, while the
corrupted Communist Party and KGB officials are plotting against him,
because Lagin isn’t sharing his good fortune
with them.
