Narrated primarily through interviews with prominent Russian dissidents, 
*/They Chose Freedom/* (2005) tells the story of the Soviet dissident 
movement from its emergence in the late 1950s until the 1990s. Public 
readings of banned poetry on Mayakovsky Square, the development of 
samizdat, the 1965 and 1968 opposition demonstrations in Moscow, and the 
harsh repressions unleashed against dissidents by Communist authorities 
are all reflected in the film. It also focuses on events leading to the 
collapse of Soviet dictatorship and the democratic revolution of August 
1991, and the addresses the future of Russia.
