On Sunday night the film that Ms Baumann produced, and that the Russians tried so hard to block, will be screened for the first time. It features a building contractor who was threatened he would be "drowned in blood" if he refused to pay kickbacks of up to 50 per cent of building costs in Sochi, plus the cost of the Olympics to local people who have lost their homes and livelihoods to construction. It also highlights the environmental damage of the games, and questions the wisdom of building the venues on a swampy, sub tropical coastal plain.
