A year after the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the Oscar-winning documentary producer of the 2022 film “Navalny” has spoken to FRANCE 24 about her memories of him. Odessa Rae spent over three months living with the Russian dissident in Germany following his 2020 poisoning as she tracked his life to make the film. Navalny died just over a year ago in a penal colony in the Russian Arctic in circumstances that remain unclear. Speaking to us in Perspective, she called Navalny “one of the most extraordinary humans that I have ever met.”
