Min vän Gorbatjov

Meeting Gorbachev

...a riveting and moving portrait of Mikhail Gorbachev, the former Soviet president and arguably the greatest living politician...

...a self-consciously grand head-to-head between the great director and the great historical figure.

...captures a man who tried to change the world and did so in ways he couldn’t have predicted. But what makes it interesting is how Herzog gets to what he cares about in this story as much as the historical details themselves.
