A story told by those who knew Boris Nemtsov at different times: when he was a young scientist and took his first steps in politics; when he held high government offices and was considered Boris Yeltsin's heir apparent; when he led Russia's democratic opposition to Vladimir Putin.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Vladimir Kara-Murza was poisoned twice (2015, 2017) with symptoms identical to Nemtsov ally Alexander Litvinenko; he finished editing between hospitalizations.
Nemtsov was shot on Bol'shoy Moskvoretsky Bridge, 100 meters from the Kremlin — the location itself became a dissident shrine that police periodically dismantle.
