Wiki.

Farewell, America (Russian: Прощай, Америка!) is a 1951 Soviet propaganda drama film directed by Aleksandr Dovzhenko. An adaptation of the book The Truth about American Diplomats by American journalist and defector to the Soviet Union Annabelle Bucar, the film was abruptly shut down halfway through its production at Mosfilm studios. In 1996, the film was restored by the Gosfilmofond state archive before having its first screening at the Berlin Film Festival.
