Description: The story of those living in the shadow of Russia's giant industrial project of the 1930's. The bare steppes of the Urals were transformed into a blast-furnace complex, and a city was raised out of the ground. With excerpts from Joris Iven's 1932 film'Song of the heroes' about the building up of the Soviet Union, which used Magnitogorsk to show how the 'new world' and the 'new man' were being forged.
