Navalny. CNN and HBO Documentary Film

Navalny is a documentary film by director Daniel Roher about Alexei Navalny, filmed around the events that followed his poisoning in 2020. The film's executive producer was Maria Pevchikh, head of investigations at FBK. At its center are the reconstruction of the assassination attempt, the investigation into its perpetrators, and Navalny's decision to return to Russia.

The film is both a chronicle and an investigation: it follows Navalny's team and investigative journalists as they use open-source data and leaks to identify a group of FSB officers linked to the poisoning, then test the details of that version in practice.

One of the key scenes is Navalny's phone call with FSB officer Konstantin Kudryavtsev, in which Kudryavtsev admits details of the attempt on Alexei's life and describes efforts to hide the traces. This episode became an important part of the public evidence base in the poisoning case.

The film received broad international recognition: it premiered at Sundance in January 2022, where it won the Audience Award in the U.S. Documentary Competition and the Festival Favorite Award; in 2023 it won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film.
