THE LONG WAY HOME is Michael Apted’s revealing, rollicking portrait of Soviet underground rock legend Boris Grebenshchikov, during his 1988 odyssey to the West to record an album and bring it back home in the early, optimistic days of Glasnost. The film also features Boris’s legendary Russian band Aquarium, and Dave Stewart, with special appearances by Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde, Ray Cooper, and Crosby, Stills & Nash. Remastered in 4K and available for the first time in over 30 years, it is followed by an epilogue co-directed by Steven Lawrence and Susanne Rostock (the film’s producer and editor) that brings Boris’s journey up to date, including his exile from Russia for speaking out against the invasion of Ukraine.
