Review of Navalny Film

1/28/2022

Yesterday I had the chance to watch Navalny, directed by Daniel Roher.  A terrific, straight-forward telling of the scandalous poisoning of Alexei Navalny.  He is the Russian opposition leader poisoned with Novichok in 2020.  It's an amazing story.  If it weren't for the cell phone cameras and hard work of the individuals desperately trying to help him after the attack, it's likely he wouldn't have survived.  It's particularly timely in light of the aggressive stance Putin is taking in the Ukraine.  A simply incredible story, not to be missed.  

Navalny was presented at the Sundance Film Festival, which wraps up this Sunday, 1/30/22.  More information is available at sundance.org.
