Russian Life magazine publisher and editor Paul Richardson will be in Waitsfield at Big Picture Theater on Tuesday, June 5th from 6:30– 7:30 pm to present a special showing of his new documentary film and book, both titled Resilience .
The event is free and open to the public.
In 1917, Russia was wracked by revolution, famine, war, and unrest. And yet, all that year children were born. Resilience is a film about some of those children, 100 years later, and their remarkable life stories.
The book and film were created in collaboration with Russian journalists Mikhail Mordasov and Nadya Grebennikova, after the trio traveled 20,000 kilometers across Russia last summer.
Richardson will introduce the film, offer short readings from the book, and a Q&A and book signing will follow the showing of the 25-minute documentary. Other books by Richardson (including The Spine of Russia and Driving Down Russia's Spine) will also be available after the film.
