Genny Nikolova 03/01/2023 Thank God, for the "Bulgarian nerd" , Hristo Grozev! Otherwise, we would have not known the truth! That is exceptional journalism. See more Alexander 02/27/2023 Its holding your attention for entire 2 hours unlike any other documentaries. It feels like a thriller though there is only facts from one persons life! Excellent work of operators, scriptwriters and director See more mamabago 04/13/2022 Disappointed that there was little advertising for this film. As a result, there were only a few people in the theatre, even though the film is extremely relevant and timely. See more RaphaelC 04/13/2022 Fantastic, intense, and inspirational movie. Also very well produced. I had followed these events when they happened in real time, but to have them all put together in a narrative like this movie was incredible See more Jane S 04/13/2022 Very disturbing but excellently done. An amazing human in debt documentary about life in Russia under Putin See more Becca 04/13/2022 Fantastic!!! Shocking! lays out the timeline of events with incredible footage.
