What does it mean for the Left in the West now that upheavals in the former Soviet Union have unraveled the Bolshevik Revolution? Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with democratic activists in what is now the Confederation of Independent States, What's Left? is a docu-satire about the identity crisis facing progressives after the collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War. It follows a North American television reporter—once a radical activist—on his travels through the Soviet Union as he tries to make sense of it all.
