Peasants - 1968

Peasants 1968 Directed by Ülo Tambek , Toomas Kirdelaht Talupojad

This film bears witness to both the Soviet production system and censorship. The view of life on a collective farm depicted here seemed too bleak for the officials involved, and the film was not screened for two decades. What we see is an honest observation of country life presented in a wonderful visual form.
