And Still I Believe

Originally titled World '68, the film was later retitled The World of Today. It presents an impassioned essay on historical events and the disillusionment experienced by Romm. The film remained unfinished at the time of his death, leading to completion by colleagues Marlen Khutsiev, Elem Klimov, and German Lavrov, who used the elements Romm left behind.

The documentary features notable figures such as Albert Einstein, Woodrow Wilson, Zhou Enlai, and Raymond Poincaré. Their inclusion adds depth to the exploration of the era's complexities. Despite its incomplete state, the film concludes with Romm's optimistic message: "And still I believe that man is sensible." This thematic focus makes it a significant work for those interested in historical documentaries and the evolution of documentary filmmaking in the 20th century.
