The White Crow

"The White Crow" tells the story of Rudolf Nureyev, the most famous ballet dancer in the world, who defected from the Soviet Union to the West in 1961. The film follows Nureyev's journey from his childhood in Ufa, Russia, to his rise as a star dancer in Leningrad, and finally to his daring escape to Paris, where he sought asylum and forever changed the course of his life. Despite the KGB's efforts to keep him under surveillance, Nureyev's magnetic presence and artistic genius helped him to break free from the shackles of Soviet control, and he became a symbol of artistic freedom and a beacon of hope for those living under oppressive regimes. With its stunning dance sequences and tense cat-and-mouse game between Nureyev and the KGB, "The White Crow" is a thrilling and inspiring true story of courage, creativity, and the power of the human spirit.
