A Grand Society

EPISODE 3 -- Displaced to a Soviet collective farm in the Caucasus, eleven-year-old Yasha is forced into farm labor while we contend with the absurdities of Stalin’s “utopian” system. When the family breaks from the farm in search of autonomy, Yasha confronts both culture shock and the reality that nowhere is safe.
