Navalny

This staggering, fly-on-the-wall portrait of the charismatic anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny.

Direct to-the-camera interviews with Navalny and his inner circle, including his courageous wife Yulia, Christo Grozev, a Bulgarian investigative journalist from the group Bellingcat, and Maria Pevchikh, the head investigator for Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation, Navalny’s own investigative videos and one astounding prank phone call offer an overview of an extraordinary figure.

“A feast of evermore unbelievable details and a window into a movement against a state of increasingly boldfaced, demeaning lies.” ~ Adrian Horton, The Guardian

“The geopolitical landscape has changed dramatically in the last few months since this sleek, smartly assembled and almost indecently entertaining movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival (where it won two audience awards), and as a result, it can feel timely and outdated, relevant and redundant, disturbing and escapist all at once.” ~Justin Chang, LA Times
