On 20 June, World Refugee Day, we look back at an interview with director Nadia Tass about her documentary OLEG: THE OLEG VIDOV STORY, which will be available to watch on SBS and SBS on Demand on 24 June. Oleg Vidov was the star of the Soviet screen, but fame did not save him from the regime that tried to control his life. The film shows Oleg's rise to fame in the USSR, fleeing the Soviet Union and three decades of his work in Hollywood as an actor and producer.

The guest of the podcast is the director and executive producer of the film "Oleg. The Story of Oleg Vidov" Nadia Tass.
