'What Are We Living For?', a 1967 Irish television documentary, explored the lives of young scientists and artists in the Soviet Union. Many interviews and footage were shot in Novosibirsk's Akademgorodok district, with Anatoly Burshtein being one of the main characters. The film was optimistic but not propagandist, and showed young people who were cosmopolitan, idealistic, independent thinkers and fluent in English. When Dad died, I wanted to publish "What are we living for" here. To do so, I needed the director's permission. That's how I found Lelia Doolan.
