The documentary film "Navalny" exposes in a journalistic approach what happens to any individual who opposes the Russian government of dictator Vladimir Putin. Canadian director Daniel Roher shows the saga of Alexei Navalny, a charismatic and former opposition leader who fights against the corruption of Russian elites and has emerged as the most notorious critic of the Government of Vladimir Putin. In 2020, on a flight between Siberia and Moscow, Navalny suffers an attempt on his life when he is poisoned by Novichok and thus begins an investigative race to prove that Putin's government was behind the attack.
Navalny is an engaging documentary that reads more like a fictional international spy thriller. Everything is so absurd that Putin comes across as a pathetic and complete moron leader. A great work that complements a little of what we are seeing in Ukraine currently.
*** update: after Navalny's death, I watched some of his earlier interviews and they made me change my opinion about this "person". He was racist ( compared Muslin to cockroaches), white supremacist, against immigration (does not want his people mixed with other nations) and total radical.
