Product Description
(If anything should happen to me, I beg you to show this tape to the whole world.) On November 23rd, 2006, these words, spoken on camera by exiled former KGB and FSB (post communist Russia s dreaded new secret police) agent Alexander Sasha Litvinenko, became a gruesome self-fulfilling prophecy. After an agonizingly painful ordeal, Litvinenko succumbed to radiation poisoning from a lethal dose of toxic Polonium-210, surreptitiously slipped into his tea during a London meeting with two FSB ex-colleagues three weeks earlier.
In Poisoned by Polonium: The Litvinenko File (Formerly Known As REBELLION), 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.
