Vicki says: “Although Gabe Polsky’s RED ARMY is a ‘sports’ documentary, it is really more than that. Its focus is the Soviet Union’s most successful Red Army ice hockey team and its controversial star, Viacheslav ‘Slava’ Fetisov, the former captain and Olympic gold medal winner whose career and life in the world of hockey provides much of the dramatic tension. Through interviews and archival footage that are extremely well edited together, RED ARMY becomes a gripping piece of sports journalism that weaves history, politics and sports into a supremely fascinating documentary.”
