My Friend Boris Nemtsov

Original title: Мой друг Борис Немцов

“An intimate documentary portrait of one of Russia's most influential opposition politicians.”

Directed by Zosya Rodkevich

An intimate portrait of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov — once Deputy Prime Minister and “an heir of President Yeltsin”, later an uncompromising adversary of Putin — that was assassinated near the Kremlin in February 2015. Election campaigns and hotel beds, protest rallies and office routine, train compartments and courtrooms, night walks and police vans – you have never seen any politician so close. This is a story how a journalist assignment turns into a genuine friendship.
