Reviews
“She knew too much” brings up the corruption and the brutal, opaque machinations in Russia and Chechnya in a haunting way . Olivier Langlois succeeds in making tangible what it means to fight for the truth as a journalist where freedom of the press is prevented. The framework for the story of Andreï and Claire is the world-famous murder of the Kremlin-critical journalist and activist for human rights, Anna Politkovskaya, who was shot in Moscow in October 2006.
