Soldiers first, hockey players second – Gabe Polsky's entertaining Red Army chronicles the rise, fall and struggle for personal freedom within one of the most awesome sporting dynasties ever seen: The USSR national ice hockey team.

As the Cold War raged, the Soviet ice hockey team marched from cloistered obscurity behind the Iron Curtain to dominate the sport, putting powerhouse nations such as Canada and the United States to the sword. But when Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika reforms thawed out Moscow, the struggle for players to join the National Hockey League became the team's greatest battle.

Executive produced by Werner Herzog, Red Army features archival footage and gripping interviews with the stars of the team – Slava Fetisov, Vladislav Tretiak, Alex Kasatanov and Vladimir Krutov – to create a film that's more than just a sport's story: it's first and foremost "a human story that transcends decades, borders and ideologies" (Time).

Our watching-with-baby screenings are for parents/carers with young babies (up to one year) to enjoy a movie from our weekly film programme in the company of other parents and their offspring. The Cube provides an area for prams, baby changing facilities, lowered movie volume and extra lighting in the auditorium. There will always be a friendly Front of House on hand to help. Those of you without babies, are of course, more than welcome.
