Film about slain Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya
A Bitter Taste of Freedom
(85 minutes, in Russian with English subtitles)
Friday, April 1, 3:00
Ballantine Hall 209
Directed by Marina Goldovskaya, A Bitter Taste of Freedom documents the heroic life and violent death of Anna Politikovskaya, an internationally celebrated investigative journalist and human rights activist who fearlessly spoke out against Kremlin policy in Chechnya and fascist movements in Russia. Politkovskaya’s murder in 2006 emblematized the increasingly repressive and outrightly dangerous conditions in which independently minded journalists practice their profession in contemporary Russia. Anna Sharogradskaya, director of the Regional Press Institute (Saint Petersburg, Russia) will introduce the film and answer questions after the screening.
