Between bombings and political chaos in 1990s Moscow, a team of Russian and American artists, producers, educators, writers, and puppeteers overcame their many differences to create an unprecedented hit in a post-communist era: Ulitsa Sezam, the Russian co-production of Sesame Street. She observes how, despite sharing common goals, cultural clashes colored nearly every aspect of the production. The result is an invaluable perspective on Russia's diverse people, their culture, and their complicated relationship with the West. -- adapted from jacket
