Citizen K
New to AFI Fest this year is a new Documentary section with 11 amazing non-fiction films. Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney returns with Citizen K, chronicling the trajectory of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former Russian oil tycoon whose political challenge of Putin landed him in prison for 10 years—after which he became a staunch human rights advocate as the leader of Open Russia, a pro-democracy group. This captivating documentary bears witness to Putin’s ruthlessness and to the changing fortunes of those who dared to oppose him.
