An epic journey from the banks of the Volga Canal outside Moscow to the arctic wastes of Siberia via the heart of Russia and its people.

Grierson Award, Best British Documentary 1999. IDA Documentary Feature Award 2000, Los Angeles. British Academy and Royal Television Society Nominations.

THE GUARDIAN: "Made with the eye of an artist and the ear of a scholar."

THE INDEPENDENT: ""Macqueen caught all the awfulness, but also all the complexities, the nuances of shame and self-justification. GULAG was a difficult film, but also a magnificent, shattering one. Worth every minute."

THE DAILY MAIL: "Angus Macqueen's epic documentary is a masterpiece."
