Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) profiles a former Siberian prisoner who continues to challenge Vladimir Putin's hold on power.
Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) examines Russia's power, president Vladimir Putin's 19-year dominance, and Mikhail Khodorkovsky—a former Siberian prisoner who continues to challenge Putin's reign.
"In 2003, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, one of the richest men in Russia, began a ten-year sentence for tax evasion. Many believed his downfall was challenging then newly elected president Vladimir Putin. During his time in a Siberian prison, Khodorkovsky became a world-famous dissident. Today, exiled in London, he continues to battle Putin’s 19-year hold on power. Exquisitely photographed in the UK, Russia and Germany, Citizen K examines power in Russia." (Venice Film Festival)
