Anna Politkovskaya was October 7, 2006 murdered in the lobby of his apartment building in Moscow. That day Vladimir Putin celebrated his 54th birthday. She said about him that "as he was in power, we could not live in a democratic country." This documentary is both an intimate portrait of the journalist and chronic Russia Putin years. Unreleased interviews and exceptional illuminate the nature of his fight for the truth about the genocide in Chechnya and freedom in Russia, and bring into perspective a lucid and determined woman. Smiling, sometimes cynical or angry, Anna knew that his fight for the truth could condemn it at high prices. But she chose to commit to human rights, and showed the face of unyielding power, always demanding vis-à-vis itself.

The film will be followed by a discussion led by Amnesty International, with Dato Joseph, in charge of Chechnya Doctors of the World.
