ROAD TO LIFE, the 1931 landmark Soviet film by acclaimed director Nikolai Ekk and first Soviet sound film ever produced, is now available in a new 4K restoration. Acclaimed film historian Jay Leyda writes of the film: "Road To Life keeps a high place in Soviet film history, for its fusion of technical, dramatic and political achievements." After first premiering in the USA at the Filmarte Theater in Los Angeles and the Cameo Theater in New York City in January of 1932, the film went on to achieve critical success and claim its place in the halls of Essential Cinema. In the years following the Revolutions, Soviet society faced a growing problem: "Wild Boys": roving bands of homeless children who had lost their parents after a long period of civil war and famine. One particular group of Wild Boys, led by Mustapha (Yvan Kyrlya), infamous for being captured countless times only to cleverly escape over and over, finds itself incarcerated following a raid on their hideout. The authorities want to jail the young miscreants, but an idealistic comrade, Sergeyev, (Nikolai Batalov) objects and convinces the rest to allow an experiment to take place: enroll the wild children in a labor commune where they will learn a trade and work, as an alternative to prison, to reform them into productive, law-abiding citizens. All seems to go according to plan at first, but Sergeyev soon realizes the true challenge of breaking the Wild Boys of their old ways.
