The Bonus Features Disc also features an all-new 35 minute making-of documentary vividly telling the amazing story of how this film classic was made. A highlight of the video is an exclusive first hand account of how Italian authorities banned the film, as told by the studio executive who managed the production. His heroic efforts to hide the film's original negatives prevented the film from being forever lost.

Starring Rossano Brazzi and Alida Valli, the film is based on the novel by Ayn Rand, one of America’s most influential and controversial writers. Rand was the author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged and the creator of the philosophy she called Objectivism. 

Set in Russia during the chaotic years following the Communist Revolution (which the Russian-born Rand experienced first-hand as an adolescent), We the Living is a powerful love story on an epic scale. Beautiful, strong-willed Kira, a university student, is torn between Leo, a counter-revolutionary fugitive, and Andrei, a disillusioned captain of the secret police. In a tale involving a forbidden love affair, deception, and betrayal, the heroic struggle to live one’s own life emerges as the enduring and universal theme of We the Living. 

Produced in war-torn Italy and long thought to be lost, the film was rediscovered many years later and Rand authorized the film's restoration.  In Italian with English subtitles.  A must-have for admirers of Ayn Rand’s books and for classic film lovers everywhere!  Order now!
