Solid doc about Igor Savitsky...who founded a museum for avant-garde art in the desert waste of Uzbekistan in the 1930's, when such an act risked execution. Because of his courage and dedication many striking paintings were saved and now take their place in the story of modern art.
Traditional, respectful doc which tells the story well using talking heads, archival footage, old movies...both Soviet and home...and Ken Burns-like slow pans over the art itself.
