The Real Doctor Zhivago (2017)
Overview
Dr. Zhivago is one of the best-known love stories of the 20th century, but the setting of the book also made it famous.

In this documentary, Stephen Smith traces the revolutionary beginnings of this bestseller, to it becoming a pawn of the CIA at the height of the Cold War.
