These works, at odds with the drab realism favored by the government, put the artists at great risk. Savitsky searched out the artists and their works and created a museum in Uzbekistan, remote enough that he evaded the worst of Soviet censorship. He collected and preserved cultural artifacts of Uzbeks as the government attempted to erase the culture. This film follows his story, taking us on a dramatic journey of sacrifice for the sake of creative freedom, while revealing the glorious works of art and the stories of the people involved.
