The Real Doctor Zhivago

2017

Dr. Zhivago is one of the best-known love stories of the 20th century, but the setting of the book also made it famous.

The film is what most people remember, but the story of the writing of the book has more twists, intrigue and bravery than many a Hollywood blockbuster. In this documentary, Stephen Smith traces the revolutionary beginnings of this bestseller, to it becoming a pawn of the CIA at the height of the Cold War.
