Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Esteban Volkov, Trotsky's grandson featured here, survived the 1940 Siqueiros assassination attempt on his grandfather's life—he was literally shot in the foot as a teenager.
The International Marxist Tendency still sells this documentary at socialist conferences worldwide—it's less film, more recruitment tool.
