Poisoned by Polonium (DVD), Kino Lorber, Special Interests

In Poisoned By Polonium: The Litvinenko File filmmaker Andrei Nekrasov exposes the truth behind a crime that shocked the world and provoked a war of words between Russia and England that continues to this day. A "first rate investigative documentary" (NY Newsday) combining "an impressive array of film clips and extended interviews with Mr. Litvinenko" (New York Times), Poisoned By Polonium: The Litvinenko File is both a nuanced documentary requiem for a friend and a searing personal indictment of Vladimir Putin's de facto dictatorship and Russia's hidden history of tyrannical secret police repression going all the way back to the Tsars. Also featured on this DVD, Andrei Nekrasov's 2004 documentary Disbelief, an investigative film about the 1999 bombing of an apartment building in Moscow that sheds light on terrorism and post Soviet government operations.
