Film Screening of "FREE TO ROCK" (formerly Rockin' The Kremlin) documentary film

University Room: David T. McGovern Grand Salon (C-104)
Wednesday, February 1, 2017 - 18:30

The American University of Paris invites you to a film screening of FREE TO ROCK, directed by Jim Brown, on February 1 in C-104.

FREE TO ROCK explores and examines the Cold War period of 1955 - 1991, and how the soft power of American rock & roll music from the West significantly weakened the Communist governments' ability to control the thoughts and activities of its youth.....and how, after three decades of dramatic conflicts between the Iron Curtain teenagers and the Kremlin/KGB (and their Eastern European allies), the music and its culture contributed to the collapse of the totalitarian system behind the Iron Curtain. 

FREE TO ROCK has been accepted for showcase at the FIPA / Festival International de Programmes Audiovisuels, in Biarritz, France, this coming January 25 - 29th, 2017.
