REBELLION, THE LITVINENKO CASE - film by A. Nekrasov
Nekrasovs ferocious film Rebellion, The Litvinenko Case exerts an awful grip. Its certainly a wake-up call to those who believe that Russia is not as relevant in the 21st century.
The dark secrets of the Kremlin unravel in this story of the former KGB agent
Alexander Litvinenko who was poisoned in London in 2006. It takes the viewer
behind the headlines of one of the most shocking news stories of recent years,
offering a fascinating look at modern Russia.
Litvinenkos secret service career began in the former Soviet Union working as an
operative detective in the KGB. It wasnt until he was ordered to assassinate an
oligarch that his rebellion began. He staged a press conference in Moscow where
he accused the Russian secret service of misdeeds. Within days he was under
investigation, within weeks in prison and was soon forced to flee the country.
During the five years between his escape and his poisoning from radioactive
Polonium-210 in London, Litvinenko spent hours with filmmaker Andrei Nekrasov
explaining the reasons for his rebellion and detailing the rise of the police state in
Russia in the past decade. His narrative, interrupted by flashbacks into history,
explains how the hopes for freedom and democracy after the collapse of Soviet
Communism have been dashed by the war in Chechnya and the consolidation of
power by President Vladimir Putin.
