Full Plot Details

"The Ballad of Bering Strait" is a cinema-verite film following seven Russian teenagers who have come to America to become country music stars. Principle photography began in July 1999 when the band, Bering Strait, entered the United States and began recording their first album in Nashville. The film documents the band responding to the twists and turns of the recording industry, rehearsing for their tour, preparing for their debut concert at the Grand Ole Opry, charting the course for their career with their managers, and living every-day life on the farm where they reside in rural Tennessee. The crew traveled with the band to their homes in Obninsk, Russia and to their music conservatories in Moscow, documenting how these two girls and five boys became so adept at playing American country music. The film culminates with the band's arrival on the U.S. stage at Wolf Trap National Park. "The Ballad of Bering Strait" is a two and a half year epic that follows Bering Strait's amazing cultural fusion-coming of age journey in America.

Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 8/10 by Rita KempleyIt isn't wildly imaginative, but its subjects are novel enough in their own right. They're a little bit country and a little bit Rachmaninoff.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Kenneth TuranWhat makes the story worthwhile is the candor and personality of the band members.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Maitland McDonaghThough filmmaker Nina Gilden Seavy followed Bering Strait for the better part of two years, their story is in no way over at the film's conclusion.
New York Post - 5/10 by Megan LahmannLittle is made of the cultural fusion aspect of their story, and ultimately the struggle-for-success tale is as homogenized as the music.
L.A. Weekly - 5/10 by Dan FienbergWhile the film frequently concentrates on the wrong story, the humanity of the musicians comes through in their own words and actions.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Laura SinagraEchoes the trajectory of the post-Communist-bloc region itself, unmoored and at the mercy of pitiless capitalist forces.
The New York Times - 4/10 by A.O. ScottThis competently made picture seems a rehash, and not a terribly interesting one. What's remarkable about it is how unremarkable it is.
Washington Post - 4/10 by Desson ThomsonThe documentary never gets more than skin deep. It rarely delves into the troubling regions that are the very orchards of documentary.
