Congratulations to DanielRoher, whose powerful film Navalnydoc is up for an Academy Award Oscars2023
floored me so much on the night I saw it, that I went back to the same theater again to see it one more time the very next night. It’sriveting of a film — and, needless to say, I’m not surprised at all that it picked up an Oscar nod in the documentaries category as part of the reveal on Tuesday of the overall list of nominees for the 95th Academy Awards.
That’s because he’s still alive, unlike so many other Kremlin critics who’ve met untimely ends via poisonings, suspicious heart attacks, and sudden falls from tall buildings. And it’s not for want of trying, either, as is made so terrifyingly clear in the documentary about him that was produced by CNN Films and HBO Max.
After an ordeal in a Russian hospital, his family spirits him out of the country, where he recuperates in Germany’s Black Forest. The attempted poisoning happened in August 2020. Roher caught up with Navalny a few months later — and, very quickly, this film about one man becomes something much more. Navalny links up with the independent journalism outfit Bellingcat to research, identify, and then prank call — right there on the screen, as Roher’s camera was rolling — the crew of Russian hitmen who tried to assassinate him. He even goes so far as to coordinate with international press outlets like CNN to name and shame them all.
