Producer Steven Lawrence joins The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to talk about The Long Way Home, the iconic documentary following legendary Russian singer and songwriter Boris Grebenshchikov as he travels from the Soviet Union to the United States to record an album during a pivotal moment in history. The film captures a rare cultural exchange, blending music, politics, and personal freedom at a time when East and West were still deeply divided.
Robert and Steven dive into the story behind the film, the artists involved in bringing the project to life, and why this journey remains so meaningful today. From the power of music to transcend borders to the importance of preserving these stories for new audiences, this conversation is thoughtful, timely, and deeply human.
The Roundtable with Robert Bannon is available on Broadway World, the Broadway Podcast Network, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
