Navalny

The film follows the dramatic events surrounding the August 2020 assassination attempt on Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who fell ill on a domestic flight and was transferred to Germany for further treatment due to concerns about his safety and the destruction of evidence. Navalny, who has always denied being targeted by the Kremlin, believes that his growing recognition made him safer from future attempts. A small group of investigative journalists, including Christo Grozev and Maria Pevchikh, secretly surround Navalny, knowing that the state won't investigate the poisoning. The film culminates with Navalny's highly publicized return to Moscow in January 2021, where he plans to release the findings to maximize their impact.
