Steel Town
- 1989 ----- color ----- 19 min ----- vhs
- (Soviet Union series, Part 3) Stalin's enforced industrialization of the Soviet Union in the '30s was a great leap forward for an underdeveloped country. Today Siberian planned factory towns throb with the pulse of giant steel mills, but the price for this tremendous industrial growth has been heavy, especially for the workers. Housing is painfully inadequate. Pollution is rampant, with poisonous gases and acid rain filling the air. Industrial diseases abound: silicosis, cancer, skin alergies, nervous ailments. While there are some attempts to alleviate these conditions, State production plans are of more importance than people's health.
