The Archive<\/em> tells the incredible story of David Drucker, a lawyer in McCarthy-era America. Employed by the Soviet Union and communist China to broker trade deals with the West, his work quickly brought him to the attention of J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. Always travelling with a Bolex 16mm camera, David captured stunning footage of newly post-revolution China. However, FBI agents were never far behind, also documenting his every move. While compiled entirely from archive materials, including Drucker\u2019s 16mm footage as well as a de-classified FBI file, the film holds many contemporary relevancies with the America of today.<\/p>\n
