Navalny documentary wins Oscar

The documentary was screened for the first time on January 26, 2022, at the Sundance Independent Film Festival in Salt Lake City.

The documentary is largely a step-by-step account of Navalny's poisoning, which took place in the summer of 2020, through to the politician's detention at a Moscow airport in January 2021.

On December 14, 2020, The Insider, Bellingcat, and the Anti-Corruption Foundation published an investigation naming FSB officers complicit in Alexei Navalny’s poisoning with Novichok nerve agent, which the OPCW classifies as a chemical weapon.
