NOVAYA

Russian Federation 2018 – Director(s) Askold Kurov – 75 min

Behind Nova­ya Gaze­ta, a peri­lous fight for inde­pen­dent truth in Rus­sia unfolds.

Sin­ce 2000, Nova­ya Gaze­ta, an acclai­med Nobel-nomi­na­ted news­pa­per, has tra­gi­cal­ly lost six jour­na­lists pur­suing incon­ve­ni­ent truths. This docu­men­ta­ry offers a uni­que 18-month look at their col­le­agues’ dai­ly work – from edi­to­ri­al dis­cus­sions to reac­ting to an edi­tor’s sud­den kid­nap­ping. It powerful­ly explo­res the peri­lous boun­da­ry of truth in con­tem­po­ra­ry Rus­sia, whe­re unco­ve­ring facts can end­an­ger your life or loved ones.
