| Summary |
"Soviet war cameraman and director Roman Karmen (1906 -1975), one of the most influential documentary makers in the history of the cinema, is the subject of this 90-minute profile. A true communist believer, Karmen was a roving ambassador of socialism and created films that served the needs of the regime. His well-known images of war have shaped memory and constructed our collective vision of the 20th century. This documentary profiles Karmen's extraordinary talents and ability to capture the emotion and immediacy of his war-zone surroundings. We also bear witness to Karmen's technical craft and the way that he would manipulate and reconstruct frames, including famous battle scenes that ultimately served the socialist cause.
