A book-screen, bound in red, is open to the first chapter of The Bolshevik Myth. Alexander Berkman tells of his deportation aboard the Buford, the same ship that would later be transformed into Buster Keaton’s eponymous Navigator. Frame by frame, the black stain of the Buford advances, projected onto a book that recounts Berkman’s progressive disenchantment with the Soviet government he had supported despite his anarchist convictions.
