This film is very good, and should be widely seen in the United States about the Soviet/Russian Mir program. "Out of the Present" is notable for its historic record, and is a compelling document of the two Russian cosmonauts who circled the globe for more than a year during tumultuous events back home in Moscow.
The film is perfect for educators, historians interested in space programs and society, documentary filmmakers, and others interested in this fascinating but overlooked subject.
The film transfer to DVD is also excellent -- very crisp image display!
