Navalny: the documentary on the Russian activist who challenged Putin

NoAVALNY
Type: drama, documentary ✦✦ 1/2
Director: Daniel Roher. With Alexei Navalny

A Russian illusion: this is the story of Aleksej Navalny. The activist lawyer currently locked up in a penal colony explains it well in this Oscar-winning BBC documentary.

Without squares, without traditional media (the former prohibited, the latter enslaved to the regime), the leader of “Russia of the future” believes he can organize opposition to Putin by combining charisma and social media.

Chilling moments when the passengers’ mobile phones record his howls of pain because poisoned on a flight from Siberia. But also when the director asks the apolitical politician to account for his flirtation with the extreme right.
