Explore the rise and fall of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who shot to the upper echelons of Russia's wealthy elite before he became one of the most high-profile political prisoners on the planet in 2003. Though Khodorkovsky was officially jailed on tax and embezzlement charges, his proponents claim that his true crime was daring to disagree with powerful Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Khodorkovsky's supporters, as well as his family, speak out about the case and accusations of rampant corruption in Russian politics.

    Onionhead

    An interview with Khodorkovsky, vox pops with ordinary Russians and some weird animation fail to secure contributions of great significance, let alone clarify basic issues of guilt or innocence.

    "Khodorkovsky" is an entertaining examination of Russian culture, society,and politics seen through the lens of an outrageous character assassination orchestrated by the Russian government.It's unlikely to enflame our audiences with less of a stake in Russia's political goings-on, but works as a persuasive portrait of a politically toxic situation.
