‘Navalny’ director on death of Alexei Navalny: ‘The story isn’t ending. It’s just beginning’

LA Times  

Daniel Roher’s Oscar-winning 2022 documentary, “Navalny,” helped bring the story of Alexei Navalny into sharper focus for people around the world, delivering an intimate and personal portrait of a man known as an outspoken opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin and for having survived an attempted poisoning. That legacy deepens today with the shocking news of Navalny’s death in a Russian prison. Many people have already been sharing a moment online from the doc when Navalny says, “If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong.” Today, do you think that’s true? 2, and he said, “Oh, it’s so nice we hired a director with special needs.” And I think that anecdote really sort of encapsulates our relationship, the piss-taking nature of our relationship.
