Shot as the story unfolded, Navalny is a fly-on-the-wall documentary thriller about Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who survived an assassination attempt by poisoning with a lethal nerve agent in August 2020. During his months-long recovery, he makes shocking discoveries about the attempt on his life—and ultimately decides to return home to Russia.
Shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature at the 2023 Academy Awards®
"Navalny is so taut and suspenseful you’d think John le Carré had left behind a secret manuscript that’s only just coming to light now."
"It never fails to focus on the human man: funny, prickly, and unimaginably brave, down to the last defiant frame."
