One Word of Truth
- 1981 ----- color ----- 29 min ----- vhs
- Forbidden to leave the Soviet Union to accept the award for the Nobel Prize in Literature, Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote a speech he never delivered; it encapsulates his own experience and that of everyone of us--those who have suffered violence, and those who have stood by complacently while others suffered. "Who will give the human race one united system of evaluation, for evil deeds and good deeds, for the intolerable and the tolerable?" Solzhenitsyn answers his own question: "It can be done by Art, by Literature. . . One word of truth outweighs the whole world." Live action shots and works of art illuminate Solzhenitsyn's conviction that writers and artists can help the world in "its agonized testing hour."
