My Friend Boris Nemtsov

Zosya Rodkevich is 22 when she takes on the task to film Boris Nemtsov, a former Deputy Prime Minister under Boris Yeltsin and once perceived as his „heir”. Later the politician becomes one of the strongest opponents of Putin in the opposition until he gets assassinated in 2015. The filmmaker stays close to the politician and his energetic personality for three years, capturing an election campaign, hotel rooms, demonstrations, train journeys, courtrooms, night walks and police vans. The assignment turns into an intimate portrait of a fascinating and controversial personality of our time.
