Formally known for its discovery of gold in 1896, Dawson City was once again in the news in 1978 when more than 500 silent film reels from the early 1900s were found buried beneath a swimming pool. After extreme restoration to preserve the surviving reels, Morrison pieced together the films to create this documentary.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>

The contents prove to be part of 'Derevenskiy Detektiv' (1969), a popular Soviet comedy which stars Mikhail Zharov as a small-town police officer tasked with reuniting a musician with his stolen accordion. Morrison uses the process of restoring the film reels as a starting point to explore Zharov's long career.<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray</i>
