8 | I can review this film...

I can review this film because I saw it. It's not a cinematographic masterpiece, but a very interesting research. I wanted to watch it because it is banned completely in the West, and it took some going to find it online in Russian. I was skeptical when I started, but there is plenty of verifiable information presented in the film that contradicts Browder's version of events. Nekrasov interviewed people on both sides of the border, including Browder, and the officials who helped his lobbying, as well as Russian officials and examined the documents. Tragic as it was, Magnitsky's life and death didn't seem to align with Browder's version, starting with the small facts that Magnitsky wasn't even a lawyer, but an accountant who worked for Browder. Browder also threatened to sue organizations which wanted to run the film, which foe small theaters can easy become financial ruin. It was only shown a few time, and then disappeared completely.
