A Bitter Taste of Freedom
Jan 23
Monday 4:00, 5:45, 7:30Dir. Marina Goldovskaya – 2011 – 88m – Russian, Sweden, US – co sponsored by J.A.W.S. (Journalism And Women Symposium)
A new documentary on famed Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya who was murdered in 2006 while investigating the most controversial actions of the Russian state. Intimately handled by her colleague and friend, documentarian and UCLA tenured professor Marina Goldovskaya , this film astutely observes the principled determination that sealed Politkovskaya’s fate, and the adulation of countless Russians who viewed her as their only intercessor with justice in the period between perestroika and the fall of communism.
