CHUCK NORRIS VS COMMUNISM

Directed by Ilinca Călugăreanu

Passion Pictures / Vernon Films

​

In 1980s Romania, thousands of banned Western films were smuggled into the Iron Curtain opening a window into the free world for those who dared to look. 

A black-market VHS racketeer and the courageous female translator, Irina Nistor, brought the magic of film to the people and sparked a revolution.
