Moj drug Boris Němcov

Until his violent death in February 2015, Boris Nemtsov was know as the face of the anti-Putin opposition movement. This intimate portrait brings us closer to his activities during his final years, when voices of protest became stronger in Russian society. The film does not portray grand speeches and gestures, but rather the daily activities of a politician, which included long business trips in addition to appearances in the media or at demonstrations, the everyday office routine, and discussions with people on the street. Nemstov's close contact with social actors and the director are evidence of his courage and spontaneity, without needless pathos. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
