Film Screening: Navalny

Navalny, the 2023 Oscar-winning film for Best Documentary will be screened Tuesday, February 27, at 5 p.m. in the Library’s multi-media Room 101. 

In this gripping account, lawyer and opposition leader Alexei Navalny and his supporters investigate and solve the mystery of his August 2020 poisoning by the Putin regime with the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok. Medically evacuated to Berlin, Navalny gives significant on-camera interviews about his near-death and recovery. The film ends with his voluntary return to Russia in January 2021, despite the certainty that he would be imprisoned again. Declared a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International, and awarded the Sakharov Prize as a champion of human rights, Navalny is an unforgettable figure, captured here in the midst of the campaign to silence him.

This event is free and open to Fairfield students and faculty.
