The power of sports in politics. 

This brilliantly constructed documentary tells the story of the Red Army hockey team which was the pride of the Soviet Union. Told through the eyes of the players it offers unparalleled insight into the role the team played in the Russian propaganda machine.

It’s a truly compelling piece of history, complete with spies and scandals, that will keep even the least sports-orientated viewer captivated.
