My Friend Boris Nemtsov 2015 Directed by Zosya Rodkevich Мой друг Борис Немцов

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

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.
