Uncle Tony, Three Fools And The Secret Service
Documentary focussing on the unfairness generated by being in the grip of a communist regime that takes great care to never be a political film regardless of the fact that this is where the more interesting story lies.

A series of half remembered public information films rendered alien and unsettling by an incessant soundtrack of heavy synth doom.
