home the trophy. at a time when russia has barely been out of the news, it wasn't a great surprise to see navalny emerge triumphant in the best documentary feature category. remarkably, vladimir putin faces a legitimate opponent, alexei navalny. the film follows russian opposition politician alexei navalny as he, along with journalistic organisation bellingcat, investigates his own poisoning and attempted murder in 2020. what? come on, poisoned? seriously. the picture features unique access to navalny, as well as a jaw—dropping sequence where the team prank call members of the assassination squad, trying to get them to confess to their part in the hit. it's essentially a 50—minute confession by one of the people who was involved with the assassination attempt spelling out something very important, that the goal was to kill and not to scare.
