On November 7, 1917, events in Russia shook the foundations of world capitalism. The coming to power of the working class, led by the Bolshevik Party, changed the course of the 20th Century and constituted the pivotal reference point for future political upheavals. In commemoration of the Russian Revolution’s centenary, the San Diego branch of the Socialist Equality Party presents of one of the classic documentaries of the 20th Century, Tsar to Lenin, produced by Herman Axelbank and narrated by Max Eastman. The film attempts to portray the events leading to the monumental revolution by bringing together rare documentary footage unvarnished by the distortions of Stalinist propaganda.
