PBS美国印象系列《冷战路演 赫鲁晓夫访美 Cold War Roadshow 2014》
Cold War Roadshow tells the story of one of the most bizarre episodes in the annals of modern history–the unprecedented barnstorming across America in the fall of 1959 by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, the world leader of communism and America’s arch nemesis.
在冷战达到高峰、美国学童练习“鸭子钻避”演习的时期，这位被美国人民视为可能随时将他们炸成废墟的人物，在艾森豪威尔总统的邀请下来到了华盛顿特区。对两位领导人来说，此次访问是一个停止冷战升级威胁、开启和平共处新道路的机会。而对于美国新闻媒体来说，这是当年最重大的新闻事件。
At the very height of the Cold War, with American schoolchildren practicing duck-and-cover drills, the man who Americans feared could incinerate them in a rain of hydrogen bombs arrived in Washington, D.C. at the invitation of President Eisenhower. For both men, the visit was an opportunity to halt the escalating threats of the Cold War and chart a new course toward peaceful coexistence. For the American press, it was the media blockbuster story of the year.
本片通过历史学家威廉·陶布曼和记者彼得·卡尔森的视角，以及艾森豪威尔总统的孙女苏珊·艾森豪威尔和赫鲁晓夫的儿子谢尔盖·赫鲁晓夫的个人回忆，深入探讨了冷战中常常被忽视的人性层面。
Told through the eyes of historian William Taubman and journalist Peter Carlson, and through the personal recollections of President Eisenhower’s granddaughter, Susan Eisenhower and Nikita Khrushchev’s son, Sergei Khrushchev, Cold War Roadshow takes a deeply personal look at the often overlooked human dimensions of the Cold War.
