In preparation for the Olympics, Sochi has undergone some of the most dramatic and expensive changes of any hosting city. Formerly a nostalgic Soviet holiday resort, filled with beautiful sanatoriums, the 'Cannes of the Soviet Union' has been fast tracked to becoming a very modern Russian city. Of course, for Vladimir Putin the games are much more than a sporting event, they are Russia's bid to return to the world stage, and a status project of colossal proportions. With no time to lose, financial, economic, political and ecological limits are breached to make it happen, and filmmaker Hans Pool masterfully captures it all as resources and people are stretched to breaking point. Please note: There won't be adverts or trailers before this screening and the film will start promptly at 8.50pm.
