The outrageous story of cunning uber-oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky – once the wealthiest person in Russia, who amassed his $15 billion fortune in Siberian oil, only to be imprisoned by Vladimir Putin – as told by Oscar®-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney (ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM, TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE). “A mixture of high farce and needling legal thriller. The prolific docmaker’s most rewarding feature in several years, attaching his typically methodical research to a cheerfully slippery, charismatic human subject who, even on the side of right, is cagey in the face of investigation… A witty, close-up character study of one of [Russia’s] most intriguing players… Khodorkovsky’s colorful narrative leads into a wider brass-tacks tutorial on just what the hell is going on in Putin’s Russia today.” – Guy Lodge, Variety
Presented with support from the Richard Brick, Geri Ashur, and Sara Bershtel Fund for Social Justice Documentaries.
