The Checkist
It was one of the most disturbing movie I have seen, but I also think the message is something that should be seen by everyone.
In 1917, at the birth of the Russian Revolution, the Bolshevik secret police (C.H.E.K.A.) unleashed a reign of bloody terror to wipe out any opposition to Communism. The CHEKIST is the first Russian feature to reveal the true face of the CHEKA, as this powerful drama follows the daily rituals of a Cheka Officer as he and his men judge and execute their victims... Jews... Christians... workers... intellectuals... aristocrats... all who reject the new Soviet religion.
Sound eerily familiar?
