Citizen K (dvd)(2020)

The Citizen K documentary is a gripping and intimate look at the life of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former oligarch turned political dissident.

Benefitting from the chaos that ensued after the dissolution of the U.S.S.R., Khodorkovsky amassed a fortune in financing and oil production and became the richest man in Russia.

However, when he accused the new Putin regime of corruption, he was arrested, his assets were seized, and he was sentenced to more than ten years in prison.

Today, as an exile living in London, he continues to speak out against Putin's two-decade stranglehold on power.

Expertly researched and photographed, this documentary uses Khodorkovsky's story to explore the complex interplay between oligarchy and government and its destructive effect on democracy, in Russia and beyond.
