Песнь о героях Song of Heroes (1932)
Α documentary about the building of blast furnaces by Komsomol, the Communist Union of Youth, as part of Stalin’s first five-year plan for the Soviet Union. The film is set in Magnitogorsk in the Ural Mountains, where an industrial city of over 200,000 people was built in just a few years, and the Kuzbass Basin in Siberia. This film, shot entirely in praise of Soviet workers, shows us the construction of a blast furnace in an almost desert-like region. Influenced by the Russian filmmaker Vsevolod Pudovkin, Ivens tells the story by following a non-actor who re-enacts the scenes.
