Putin opponent Alexei Navalny is dead. A shock.
The spectacular documentary “Nawalny” impressively shows what a special person and fighter Navalny was.
Putin opponent Alexei Navalny is dead. The documentary film “Nawalny”, which opened the 37th Dok.Fest Munich in 2022, tells how unconditionally he always fought for human rights in Russia and against Putin’s policies.
The documentary, which was also shown in cinemas at the time, can now be seen on Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and Google Play.
The impressive film by Canadian director Daniel Roher follows Putin's fearless opponent Alexei Navalny from the Russian secret service's assassination attempt to his return to Moscow and his imprisonment.
The hours in which his wife Yulia Navalnaya fights for Alexei's life in the Russian hospital are particularly moving;
when he is rescued in the Berlin Charité and regains his strength in the Black Forest.
The focus is on your stay there.
Together with his family, his team and the Bulgarian journalist Christo Grozev, Alexei Navalny managed to uncover the assassination attempt against him.
Real life sometimes seems like a thriller here.
Unfortunately, one with a bitter, shocking end.
“Navalny” shows the power that lies in the documentary genre;
and also illustrates how well Dok.Fest boss Daniel Sponsel is connected in the scene: “Nawalny” celebrated its German premiere in Munich.
At the same time, he is deeply saddened by the news of Alexei Navalny's death - it has been clear for years how a person who opposed Russia was gradually being tortured to death.
And the world was watching.
