Like many parents of young children who run around the house wreaking havoc, Montrealers Edith Lemay and Sébastian Pelletier have their hands full. But in their case, what concerns them most is that three of their four children suffer from a genetic condition called retinitis pigmentosa, which is gradually robbing Mia, Colin and Laurent of their eyesight. In their deeply moving new documentary, BLINK, filmmakers Edmund Stenson (“Finding Fukue”) and Daniel Roher (who won the Oscar® for “Navalny”) observe how this diagnosis has created a shockwave through the family, but also led to new adventures and personal growth. Ed and Daniel join Ken on the pod to talk about how they came to know the Pelletiers and bear witness to the family's yearlong journey around the world. Designed to help the children create strong visual memories that will last a lifetime, the trip is guided by an epic bucket list that also serves to drive the film's narrative. As we witness the family traverse the globe, checking off items on the list, we find ourselves seeing the world through different sets of eyes. Scenes of delight and awe alternate with moments of uncertainty and fear. Ultimately, BLINK is a story of opening up and finding your place, including in your own family. BLINK is being released by National Geographic Documentary Films in select theaters starting October 4th.

Directed by Edmund Stenson and Daniel Roher, the new documentary Blink follows Edith and Sebastien Pelletier, parents of four who live (understandably) busy lives. However, their pace comes to a grinding halt when they receive the news that three of their children have been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare and incurable disease that will eventually lead to visual impairment. Knowing that their children will inevitably lose the ability to see the vastness of the world through their own eyes, Edith and Sebastien come up with a plan: taking their entire family on a trip around the world to fill their ‘visual memory'. In this 1on1, we speak to Stenson about the joy of Edith and Sebastien and how this experience has changed them.
In this special episode of Film & Whiskey, Bob sits down with Daniel Roher and Edmund Stenson, co-directors of the upcoming 2024 documentary Blink. The film follows a family's global journey as they race against time to experience the world's beauty before three of their four children lose their vision to a rare genetic disorder. The conversation dives deep into the emotional core of the film, its powerful visuals, and the inspiration behind this heartfelt documentary. Afterward, Bob and Brad switch gears and turn their attention to Whiskey Del Bac Sentinel of the Desert, a uniquely crafted rye whiskey that blends bold 95% rye flavors with a soft mesquite finish, embodying the essence of the Sonoran desert. They explore tasting notes, flavor profiles, and what makes this whiskey stand out in the growing American rye scene. Tune in for a heartfelt film discussion and an equally captivating whiskey review!

Jessica Stuart is a multi-instrumentalist and an acclaimed songwriter with an international fan base. Not only taking the lead on stage, she's also a skilled producer and in-demand side person working across genres. I've known Jessica for over a decade and have been inspired by her since our collaborations on stage as performing songwriters. I was especially moved when I saw a documentary she both stars in and composed the soundtrack for. The CBC documentary, spearheaded by Oscar winning director Daniel Roher, follows Jessica's decades-later return to Japan to look for her childhood friend who had mysteriously disappeared. In our chat, she talks about the shock of the film's viral, worldwide reach with millions watching the most intimate moments in her search for someone she thought she'd lost forever. We had so much to catch up on and I was eager to ask Jessica about what she has learned on her way to becoming a top-tier musician, touring internationally and earning big stage opportunities with major musical theatre productions. We talk about what is worth working towards- like better conditions for musicians to be appreciated. Beyond her creative projects, Jessica opens up about going to therapy and changing her perspective on making confident choices. She told me about how deepening her focus by refusing to compromise on quality has led to both better work life balance and more exciting career opportunities. We dive into an ongoing success first born from a rejection: her songwriters' residency “JS Presents”, held monthly at Toronto's treasured haven for musicians, the Tranzac Club. She has created a reflective space of her own for her and other songwriters to perform in an intimate “listening room” setting, where artists are given the respect and compensation they deserve- along with the opportunity to world debut a new composition! Jessica's dedication to building spaces for musicians to feel safe in experimenting and creating shines through wherever she goes. This episode brought back so many music making memories for me, and even if you aren't a musician yourself, I know you'll connect with Jessica's story. - - - When Vancouver-born, guitarist, koto player, vocalist and songwriter Jessica Stuart moved to Toronto, quitting work as vintage clothing buyer for a career in music, her goals were simple – release an album of original songs, hear her music on the radio, and satisfy her wanderlust on tour around the world. Stuart's trio The Jessica Stuart Few checked the final box with their first Asian tour (and Top 40 single in Japan) in 2013, and since then, have played music festivals and been heard on airwaves from Australia to Germany and beyond. Having made a name for herself through signature rhythmic and harmonically adventurous jazzy art pop, Jessica has tapped into a new creative stream under artist name, JESSA, smashing layers of playful guitars, koto and vocals into an indie-jazz-pop package, singing about trying to keep the joy in everyday life while navigating this weird world and all of its curve-balls. Also an in-demand side player, Stuart can be found on stage supporting original artists' projects (i.e. Fefe Dobson; Wild Black; WiztheMC), as member of popular tribute acts (i.e. Idioteque; UK Calling), and as sub guitarist for Mirvish Productions' production of SIX. If you hadn't yet heard Jessica's music through her Best Album win at the Independent Music Awards, her five songs in the finals of the Canadian Songwriting Competition, or the record crushing, tear-jerking CBC documentary about her time living in Japan as a child directed by Academy Award winner Daniel Roher (Finding Fukue, Nov 2018, 14 million + views, featuring Stuart's musical score), then you'll get to know her through her latest full-length album, Simple Songs and newest single, Give It Back, It's Mine. - - - www.jessicastuartmusic.com www.joanbeckowlegacy.com http://www.idioteque.ca/ https://instagram.com/jessicastuartmusic https://www.youtube.com/@JESSAakaJessicaStuartMusic https://www.facebook.com/jessicastuartmusic - - - Lauren's Best invites you to curiously consider art and life as host, Lauren Best, illuminates the creative process as an entrepreneur, mother and interdisciplinary artist.

While we gear up for Season 4, we thought we'd replay some of our favorite shows from the past few years. Today, we're presenting again our interview from September of 2022 with Daniel Roher regarding his film, Navalny, which depicts the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Since then, the film won the Academy Award for best Documentary. Despite the attention brought by the film, in February of this year, Alexei Navalny died in the prison in which Vladimir Putin had confined him. He survived a government-orchestrated poison attack. He pranked the Russian security agency. He endured (and continues to endure) solitary confinement in a remote gulag. Oh, and he also made some pretty cool TikTok videos. His name is Alexei Navalny, and, as Russia's leading opposition figure, he will use whatever means possible to try to end the authoritarian regime of President Vladimir Putin. He's also the subject of Daniel Roher's (“Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band”) timely and relentlessly gripping documentary political thriller “Navalny”. In the midst of Putin's unprovoked and disastrous war on Ukraine, Daniel joined Mike and Ken for an engaging conversation about Navalny's perilous journey, from surviving an assassination attempt to his recovery in Germany and subsequent return to Russia and imprisonment. What led Daniel, in October 2020, from “a place of desperation” to the “Hail Mary pass” of his filmmaking career? How did he navigate the complexity of making a film about a man, who, as a master deployer of media tools himself, was at first skeptical of the documentary and then participated in a battle of wits about creative control over its direction? Finally, how did Daniel ensure that the film retained the sense of hope that Navalny, against all odds, continues to deploy against the dark forces conspiring against him and the Russian people? With its layered narratives, “Navalny” has as much in common with a classic Russian novel as it does with a James Bond thriller. We hope you will enjoy peeling back the layers with us and Daniel at least as much as those TikTok videos. “Navalny” is available on HBO and HBO Max.

It's been seven weeks since a local branch of Russia's Federal Penitentiary Service published a brief news post about the death of opposition leader Alexey Navalny. “He went for a walk, felt sick, collapsed unconscious, and couldn't be resuscitated.” Russian officials would later insist that Navalny died of natural causes — his mother was told that he succumbed to “sudden death syndrome.” In mid-March, while celebrating his claim on a fifth presidential term, Vladimir Putin finally uttered Navalny's name in public but only to dance on his grave, claiming that he was ready to trade him off to the West, provided he never came back. “But unfortunately, what happened happened. What can you do? That's life,” said Putin. This week, The Naked Pravda looks back at Navalny's career in politics and ahead to the political future of his widow, Yulia Navalnaya, by speaking to two of the people most responsible for educating the English-speaking world about his work: filmmaker Daniel Roher, whose documentary on Navalny won an Oscar last year, and journalist Julia Ioffe, who was one of the first Western reporters to write about Navalny and who's tracked him and his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, in numerous articles for more a decade, profiling them in stories for The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. Ioffe is also the author of the forthcoming book “Motherland: A Feminist History of Modern Russia, from Revolution to Autocracy,” now available for preorder.

On February 16th, it was announced that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny had died in prison. The Vladimir Putin critic had been in Russian captivity on charges of embezzlement and extremism – and had recently been transferred to a remote penal colony in the Arctic Circle, where Russian authorities claimed the 47-year old died from “sudden death syndrome.” In the wake of the tragic news, world leaders directly blamed Putin for Navalny's death. In 2022, Alec Baldwin spoke with Daniel Roher, the director of the Academy-Award-winning documentary, “Navalny,” which follows the activist in the wake of his 2020 poisoning as he works to uncover those responsible for the assassination attempt against him, before voluntarily returning to Russia. Roher and his collaborator in the film, investigative journalist Christo Grozev, spoke with Alec Baldwin about Navalny's bravery, why poison is the Kremlin's weapon of choice and the final moments they spent with Navalny before his heroic return to Russia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In which the Mister and I check out NAVALNY (2022), which we caught on the Max. From director Daniel Roher, the film tells the story of the late Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, lawyer and political prisoner. The documentary follows the events a little before the lethal nerve agent poisoning during August 2020. Having the plane he was on diverted may have led to his surviving the attempt on his life. After being transported to Germany to get medical attention, he also delves into piecing together who was behind his assassination attempt. Many shocking discoveries come to light and Navalny makes the decision to return back home. The story is intercut with candid conversation where Navalny is asked what his message would be if he were to pass away before accomplishing his goals. His answer is moving, poignant and illuminating. This is a winner for Best Documentary Feature (2023) and is a MUST WATCH. This film clocks in at 1 h 39 m and is rated R. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

Russia's jailed opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, has died in prison. Navalny had been living behind bars since shortly after landing in Moscow in January of 2021. He had been returning home following months of recovery in Europe, after he fell violently sick on a flight between Siberia and Moscow. In the months following Navalny's poisoning, Christo Grozev, former lead Russia investigator at Bellingcat, was stuck in Vienna with filmmaker Daniel Roher. The two had just been booted from Ukraine, where they had been trying to film an investigation. Grozev suddenly had a lot of time on his hands, a laptop, and a fresh stack of data from the Russian black market so naturally he began to investigate who was behind the poisoning. Daniel Roher directed the documentary “Navalny,” which portrays the story of the close collaboration between Navalny, his team, and Grozev, in the hunt for the dissident's would-be killers. Last year, Brooke spoke to Roher and Grozev about the making of the documentary, which won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. This is a segment from our February 10, 2023 show, Hide and Seek.

La mort d'Alexeï Navalny est à la Une de quasiment tous les journaux européens et américains. Alors que les journaux russes que nous avons pu consulter ce matin passent sous silence la mort de l'opposant, à l'exception du Komsomolets Moskovskij, quotidien populaire qui consacre un long article à Alexeï Navalny, pour dire tout le mal qu'il pense de cet homme qui, nous dit-on, « a commis une erreur fatale ». Erreur qui consiste « à se croire tout près du pouvoir », comme l'on fait d'autres avant lui. Le journal cite notamment Prigojine, le chef de Wagner, officiellement mort dans un accident d'avion. « L'impact de la mort de Navalny sur la vie politique russe est proche de zéro », assure encore le journal qui concède toutefois que son décès a rencontré un large écho dans la presse occidentale. « Mais », assure-t-il, « l'époque où le Kremlin prêtait attention aux désapprobations et aux allusions occidentales est révolue et ne reviendra certainement pas sous Poutine ». « Le seul atout de Navalny », conclut le Komsomolets Moskovskij, non sans cynisme, « était son âge, qui lui donnait théoriquement une chance de tenter de reconstruire sa carrière après un certain nombre d'années. Mais le destin en a décidé autrement ».Un destin tragique« Alexeï Navalny, de l'engagement au sacrifice » titre le Monde qui rappelle qu'Alexeï Navalny « avait survécu à une tentative d'empoisonnement en 2020. En rentrant dans son pays, après des mois de convalescence en Allemagne, il savait qu'il finirait en prison. Il y est mort, vendredi, à 47 ans. » Le Monde qui publie une photo de l'opposant, souriant, mais amaigri, derrière des barreaux, lors d'un « échange en visioconférence » avec un tribunal. C'était il y a 2 jours seulement, le 15 février. C'est la « dernière image de Navalny vivant ».Un autre visage apparaît aussi dans la presse. Celui de Ioulia Navalnaïa, l'épouse de l'opposant, quelques heures seulement après l'annonce de sa mort. The Guardian raconte qu'elle est montée à la tribune, lors de la Conférence sur la Sécurité, qui rassemblait à Munich, en Allemagne, de nombreux dirigeants et experts. Le visage marqué, mais se tenant droite, et apparemment déterminée, elle a déclaré : « Je me suis dit : dois-je me tenir ici devant vous ou dois-je retourner auprès de mes enfants ? Et puis j'ai pensé : qu'aurait fait Alexeï à ma place ? Et je suis sûr qu'il aurait été ici sur cette scène. » Ioulia Navalnaä assure aussi que « Poutine et ses alliés, seront traduits en justice ». « Et ce jour, dit-elle, viendra bientôt ».Courageux et patrioteLe Wall Street Journal publie le témoignage de Daniel Roher, « un cinéaste canadien de 30 ans », « qui a passé deux mois à réaliser un film documentaire oscarisé sur le dissident russe pendant ce qui s'est avéré être les derniers jours de liberté de Navalny ». Daniel Roher qui tente de répondre à cette question : « pourquoi, en exil après avoir failli être empoisonné à mort (...) par des agents russes, est-il retourné dans son pays natal pour poursuivre sa croisade contre le régime de Vladimir Poutine, ouvrant la voie à son inévitable retour en prison ? ». Il qualifiait cela de « grande marche pour l'avenir », explique Daniel Roher, « sa lutte contre Poutine et la corruption en Russie était plus efficace en retournant dans son pays natal, quoi qu'il arrive, plutôt que de risquer l'anonymat et l'inutilité s'il restait en Occident ». « C'était », ajoute le cinéaste, « incroyablement courageux... et patriotique ».De son côté, le New York Times, rappelle que Navalny, ne s'est jamais tu. Même en prison. Même lorsqu'il s'agissait de l'invasion de l'Ukraine. En novembre 2022, il avait qualifié cette invasion de « cauchemar » dans lequel la Russie avait été entraînée par Poutine, « grand-père fou », « vivant dans le fantasme, celui d'être un chef militaire très populaire en Ukraine ». « Navalny était », conclut le quotidien américain, « le critique le plus éminent de Vladimir Poutine, alors que le président russe a tracé sa voie pour rester au pouvoir au moins jusqu'en 2036 ».Poutine et sa mafiaLa mort d'Alexeï Navalny est également en Une de The Hindustan Times, quotidien indien et anglophone, qui revient sur les conditions de détention particulièrement dures de Navalny, dans une colonie pénitentiaire en Arctique. Il avait notamment « accusé les responsables de la prison de l'avoir isolé dans une petite cellule disciplinaire, pour une infraction mineure ». En Israël, le journal Haaretz publie en Une, une photo de Navalny brandie par un manifestant tenant une bougie, hier, devant l'ambassade de Russie à Londres. Et cite Garry Kasparov, le « grand maître » d'échec en exil, selon lequel « Navalny a été tué pour avoir dénoncé Poutine et sa mafia, qui sont », accuse-t-il, « des escrocs et des voleurs ».
On February 16, 2024, the Russian prison service reported that Alexei Navalny had died, and offered no further explanation. The cause of death hasn't yet been reported, but since the news broke, world leaders have started speaking out against Vladimir Putin… and it brings a new round of scrutiny to the Russian dictator. In May 2022, Ray sat down with documentarian Daniel Roher to chat 'Navalny,' his new film following the famed Russian opposition leader's recovery from a Kremlin-sponsored assassination attempt and his ongoing search for justice. The film took home the Academy Award for best documentary last year. To remember the life and political career of Alexei Navalny, we're revisiting Ray's conversation with Daniel Roher.

Alexei Navalny, who crusaded against official corruption and staged massive anti-Kremlin protests as President Vladimir Putin's fiercest foe, died Friday in the Arctic penal colony where he was serving a 19-year sentence, Russia's prison agency said. He was 47. The stunning news of Navalny's death — less than a month before an election that will give Putin another six years in power — brought renewed criticism and outrage directed at the Kremlin leader who has cracked down on all opposition at home. People laid flowers at monuments to victims of Soviet-era political repressions in some Russian cities, but there was no immediate indication that Navalny's death, which will deal a heavy blow to the beleaguered and fractured opposition, would spark large protests. Joining us to discuss is Daniel Roher, director of the 2022 documentary Navalny and Regina Smyth, professor of political science at Indiana University and author of “Elections, Protest, and Authoritarian Regime Stability: Russia 2008–2020.” With files from the Associated Press
Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died Friday, according to Russian prison services. Political activist Bill Browder says Russian President Vladimir Putin saw Navalny as a “mortal threat,” and his death sends a message ahead of elections in the country next month.Plus, we revisit Matt Galloway's conversation with filmmaker Daniel Roher, who won an Oscar for his documentary Navalny.

Then, in an encore interview, Navalny director Daniel Roher and investigative journalist Christo Grozev discuss how they came to pursue a film about Alexei Navalny, Russian opposition leader. They also talk about the risks they faced to make the Oscar-winning documentary, and the eventual arrest and sentencing of the politician in Russia.

Three years ago, Toronto-born filmmaker Daniel Roher couldn't have imagined he'd be documenting the epic search for the Russian state assassins who tried to fatally poison Vladimir Putin's harshest critic Alexey Navalny with a military-grade chemical nerve agent. Since then, the opposition leader has miraculously recovered, returning to Russia to face a corrupt justice system, and received more than a decade in prison. Meanwhile, Roher's film has won an Oscar for best documentary feature. He joins Steve Paikin to discuss the film and its protagonist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Odessa Rae is the producer of the Oscar-nominated film ‘Navalny', a powerful, fly-on-the-wall thriller documentary about the Russian politician who dared to speak out against Putin and survived a targeted assassination attempt as a result.Odessa's belief in telling stories that need to be heard and her conviction in following her intuition is remarkable. A multi-lingual actor, writer and producer, Odessa and director Daniel Roher travelled to the Black Forest to film with Navalny and his team, sometimes for up to 20 hours a day, in the hopes of providing an intimate glimpse into his inspiring journey.They also aimed to answer the question, ‘who tried to kill Navalny?' Eventually, they captured an extraordinary conversation on camera, which went viral overnight and forms the heart of the documentary itself, which is both thrilling and harrowing in equal measure.‘Navalny', which has been described as ‘stunning' (The Guardian) and containing ‘perhaps the most jaw-dropping phone call in the history of cinema' (Filmspotting) premiered at Sundance in 2022, where it won ‘Best of Fest' and the coveted ‘Audience Award' for the US documentary competition.In this episode Odessa tells us about following your intuition and taking risks navigating personal safety and security on a high stakes projectIn sharing how she put everything on the line for this documentary, Odessa demonstrates the power of risk taking and trusting your gut in the creative process.

Director Daniel Roher explores the life and work of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who, after years of campaigning against corruption, has developed powerful enemies – including President Vladimir Putin. In August 2020, Navalny was secretly poisoned with a military-grade chemical nerve agent in a shockingly brazen attempt on his life. Beyond his staff and his loyal family, Navalny ends up being secretly surrounded by a small group of investigative journalists including Bulgarian Christo Grozev with Bellingcat and Russian Maria Pevchikh with the Anti-Corruption Foundation who knew that the state would not investigate the poisoning. What to do with their findings culminates with Navalny's highly publicized return to Moscow on January 17, 2021. After being transferred to Germany for medical attention, a recovering Navalny worked closely with international news organizations Bellingcat and CNN to investigate the crime, ultimately linking the poison to Russian security services, despite denials from the Kremlin. Eye-opening and revelatory, NAVALNY chronicles the politician and activist's brave stand against the government that tried to silence him – and his never-ending fight for democracy. Director Daniel Roher (Once We Were Brothers) stops by to talk about the 2023 Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature, what he did and did not know about Navalny, Vladimir Putin, Russian politics, gaining the trust of Alexei's inner circle, and his personal reaction to some of the mind-boggling events that unfolded in front of his camera.

This week, we hear from the creators of the five films nominated for the Best Feature Documentary Oscar, ahead of the ceremony on March 12th. Today: Daniel Roher, Canadian documentary director, discusses his film, "Navalny" which follows the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the investigation into his poisoning.
Director Daniel Roher & journalist Christo Grozev join Mase & Sue on the CULTURE POP PODCAST to talk about their powerful Academy Award-nominated documentary NAVALNY, including what prompted the Russian opposition leader's poisoning, the events related to it, and the subsequent investigation. Plus, the unexpected circumstances that led to the making of the film.
In this week's episode: Just a few weeks before the Oscars, we're taking a deep dive into the best documentary category. I talk to two of the nominees: Director Sara Dosa, who made FIRE OF LOVE, DOSA. Then, director Daniel Roher, who's behind NAVALNY…
Russian President Vladimir Putin's biggest critic, Alexei Navalny, remains in prison, facing years behind bars and deteriorating health. We talk to Washington Post reporter Catherine Belton about concerns for his well-being; and listen back to an April 2022 conversation with Daniel Roher, Canadian director of the Oscar-nominated documentary Navalny.
Director Daniel Roher takes us behind the scenes of making his thrilling documentary, the story of the fearless opposition leader to Vladimir Putin's oppressive regime. A social media master and fierce public speaker, Alexei Navalny was so effective at rallying the people of Russia against the Kremlin, they attempted to assassinate him in the summer of 2020. Roher describes what it was like to film Navalny while he recovered in Germany and planned his fateful return, and why making this movie felt as much like a thriller as his subject's life.

He survived a government-orchestrated poison attack. He pranked the Russian security agency. He endured (and continues to endure) solitary confinement in a remote gulag. Oh, and he also made some pretty cool TikTok videos. His name is Alexei Navalny, and, as Russia's leading opposition figure, he will use whatever means possible to try to end the authoritarian regime of President Vladimir Putin. He's also the subject of Daniel Roher's (“Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band”) timely and relentlessly gripping documentary political thriller “Navalny”. In the midst of Putin's unprovoked and disastrous war on Ukraine, Daniel joined Mike and Ken for an engaging conversation about Navalny's perilous journey, from surviving an assassination attempt to his recovery in Germany and subsequent return to Russia and imprisonment. What led Daniel, in October 2020, from “a place of desperation” to the “Hail Mary pass” of his filmmaking career? How did he navigate the complexity of making a film about a man, who, as a master deployer of media tools himself, was at first skeptical of the documentary and then participated in a battle of wits about creative control over its direction? Finally, how did Daniel ensure that the film retained the sense of hope that Navalny, against all odds, continues to deploy against the dark forces conspiring against him and the Russian people? With its layered narratives, “Navalny” has as much in common with a classic Russian novel as it does with a James Bond thriller. We hope you will enjoy peeling back the layers with us and Daniel at least as much as those TikTok videos. “Navalny” is available on HBO and HBO Max.

As Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine rages on, the world continues to watch in horror. But his invasion is just the latest example of Putin's autocratic political reign. His attempts to poison opposition politician Alexei Navalny offered a glimpse at what Putin was capable of. Film director Daniel Roher followed Navalny in the aftermath of that assassination attempt and got incredible insight into not only the evil Putin was capable of but also his habit of strategic blunders. So what does this say about our perceptions of Putin in the West? And what does this mean for Putin's future as the world Today, Roher joins Damien for a discussion about what we can learn from one man's attempt to stand up against the so-called ‘Strongman' of Russia. Navalny is available to watch now on DocPlay. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.

Russian opposition leader and former presidential candidate Alexei Navalny was on a flight from Siberia to Moscow in 2020 when he started to feel ill. Navalny managed to get to Germany where he discovered he had been poisoned with a military-grade nerve agent. There also was Daniel Roher, a Canadian documentary filmmaker who followed Navalny as he conducted his investigation.
When Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader and anti-corruption activist, was poisoned in 2020, he was relocated to Germany to recover. While he was there, he teamed up with a Bulgarian data-journalist named Christo Grozev, who claimed he had figured out who was behind the assassination attempt. Together, using advanced prank call technology, they managed to get an admission of guilt from a member of the team tasked with poisoning Navalny. There to capture it all was Canadian documentarian Daniel Roher. The resulting film, Navalny, is an up-close look at Navalny's final months as a free man. Today on Front Burner, a conversation with Roher on what it was like to document Russia's most famous political opposition leader as he recovered from an assassination attempt and made the decision to return to the country he wants to lead.
"At the end of the day, he believed it would be too great a gift to the regime—too great a gift to Putin—if he stayed away." Daniel Roher is the award-winning director behind "Navalny," a film that documents Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's journey from Germany to a Russian jail. Roher was given unprecedented access to Alexei Navalny as he recovered from an attempted assasination attempt in Germany, his search for the Russian agents who tried to poison him, and the eventual—and inevitable—return to Russian prison. Ray sat down to talk about Roher's experience with the man intent on undoing Vladimir Putin and his ongoing search for justice. "Navalny" premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and is now streaming on HBO Max. Guests: Daniel Roher, documentary filmmaker and director of "Navalny" Host(s): Ray Suarez, co-host of WorldAffairs
