Like a modern Robin Hood of the arts, penniless artist Igor Savitksy made an audacious decision during the Soviet Regime. He courageously saved 40,000 illicit art works, which would have otherwise been destroyed. Those treasures - censored merely because they captured the Revolution - escaped to the hidden corners of Uzbekistan, where Savitksy formed Nukus Museum, holding now 'one of the most remarkable collections of 20th century Russian art'. High-end art residing in the poorest of places is one of the paradoxes that the film tackles. Told through the voices of Ben Kingsley, Sally Field and Ed Asner, this inspiring documentary draws from Savitsky's diaries and letters, and examines his invaluable legacy through his fellow artists' works and family testimonies.
