Screening of The Price of Truth, followed by a conversation with director Patrick Forbes and special guests.

In 2021, Novaya Gazeta editor Dmitry Muratov was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Three months later, Russia invaded Ukraine. Muratov announced he would auction his Nobel medal and donate the proceeds to Ukrainian refugees. Days later, a masked attacker poured paint laced with acetone over him, permanently damaging Muratov’s sight. The auction went ahead regardless, raising $103 million. Even though six Novaya Gazeta journalists, including Anna Politkovskaya, have previously been murdered, Muratov continues to use his position to attack the Putin regime. Patrick Forbes’ searching documentary is a powerful and often suspenseful portrait of an extraordinary individual whose life and work embodies the importance of free speech and how essential the fourth estate is to the foundations of democracy.

The film screening will be followed by a conversation with director Patrick Forbes and special guests.

Supported by Channel 4
