The Engineers' Plot
The Communists who came to power in 1917 believed science had the power to create a new world. This film in the series that uses archive material to explore the cultural impact of 20th-century science, tells the story of what happened to that dream. It reveals how the grandest experiment in history ended by creating a bizarre, bewildering world for millions of people in the former Soviet Union. Footage includes a Soviet choir singing of the new rational world to come; two men who planned toothbrushes for the whole country; and a planner who tells how she decided scientifically that the people wanted platform shoes, only to discover that they were out of fashion by the time the factory was built.
