Film Screening: A Bitter Taste of Freedom (London)

This movie is a highly affecting tribute to Russian journalist, Anna Politkovskaya, who was murdered in 2006 after her disturbing reports from Chechnya.

In this new documentary by one of Russia's leading documentary directors, Marina Goldovskaya, the focus is on the character of Politkovskaya, enlivened by striking footage of the journalist herself, her views, her personal life, and the life of her family and relations. She is revealed as someone committed to journalism as a vocation, whose interest in the problems of refugees led her to tell 'people's stories', and ultimately to her reports from Chechnya.
