Description: A film about the famous Cine-Trains organized by Alexander Medvedkin in 1932 which left Moscow to cross the Soviet Union and made films on the problems of production. The film-train was a self-contained studio that could pull in anywhere, shoot its films, edit them on the spot and show them to the people who had been filmed. Its task was to help workers realize their achievements and errors. It travelled from the Ukraine, where the grain harvest was in progress, to the steel foundries of the South.
