A Bitter Taste of Freedom plot

"Hers was a lonely voice, yet loud enough for the entire country to hear."

Documentary about the well-known Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who was murdered under mysterious and still unsolved circumstances. Fingers point to senior political figures who were unhappy with Politovskaya's accounts of the war with Chechnya. The transformation of Russia as a totalitarian state into one that pretends to guarantee freedoms, such as those of expression, is proving to have a bitter taste.
