Electing Russia

Russian political life on the eve of the 2018 presidential election. The film follows five young people from different Russian cities — a schoolboy, students, an entrepreneur and a minibus driver — who volunteer at the regional headquarters of Alexei Navalny's presidential campaign, against the backdrop of his standoff with Vladimir Putin. A German-Russian co-production made for ZDF and ARTE, it premiered on 13 March 2018 and was broadcast the same day in 12 other European countries and Israel.
