The famous Russian film maker Marina Goldovskaya got to know Anna Politkovskaya as a student. Anna first appeared with her husband Sasha in a film called "A Taste of Freedom" (1990). Marina continued to film her until shortly before her death in 2006. Based on this unique material, Marina Goldovskaya has made a moving film that offers a wide specter of emotions and a deeper insight into what moved Anna Politkovskaya to risk her life defending the freedom she believed every Russian deserves.
A Bitter Taste of Freedom is a co-production between Dixit International and Goldfilms.
It will be screened twice during the Tempo festival:
Thu Mar 10, 14.50, Victoria (85 min, Russian with English subtitles)
