Close to the fall of the old Soviet Union this film explores the emerging Perstroika under President Gorbechov and how would it effect the Russian arts. It features the new stars of music, dance, film, art, poetry etc and asks how will they benefit from the new freedom against the sometimes repressive past? Filmed during the unique White Nights, Nine Days In Leningrad is the first ever Irish / Russian co-production and was narrated by the late great Donal McCann.
