Having survived a novichok poisoning attempt, Alexei Navalny recouperates in Berlin, giving no holds barred details about the incident and his life in general, primarily his opposition to the current Russian regime.
I'll admit I came across this after watching a dramatisation of a similar figure, Alexander Litvinenko. Both cases prove one thing, criticise the regime, the state, and trouble duly follows, attempted murder that can only be described as cowardly.
This was such a chilling watch, and gave a real insight into the terrors that exist, Navalny struck me as an incredibly brave man.
I'd say production values are solid, not as sharp or heavily produced as some documentaries, but the story itself, though chilling, was truly fascinating.
This is quite literally the stuff of nightmares, enough to give you the odd sleepless night.
7/10.
