>>16070963 PB Bill Browder & Magnisky case

Looked into this a while back. An anti-Putin filmmaker began an effort to produce a documentary attacking the Russian police only to find evidence that Browder is not what he claims and there was a huge political cover up.

The Magnitsky Act: Behind the Scenes

"What started as a docudrama about Sergei Magnitsky, the tax lawyer turned whistleblower who was assassinated in his prison cell in Russia, turned into a lengthy and shocking investigation by filmmaker and anti-Putin advocate Andrei Nekrasov. The Magnitsky Act: Behind the Scenes is a two and half hour documentary that takes us on a journey as Nekrasov does some background research in order to make his film more realistic, but ends up unveiling enough evidence to conclude that this was one big political cover up."

Could no longer find the article but here is the link in case a smarter anon than I can find it:

Found the actual movie but it costs a few dollars to watch. Couldn't find a free version.

Many efforts have been made to remove it and was gone when I tried to find it in 2018 when I first researched this.

Here is the first few lines under the movie page:

"THE MAGNITSKY ACT - BEHIND THE SCENES

The Magnitsky Act – Behind the Scenes is a Norwegian, internationally supported investigative documentary feature. Its scheduled premiere at the European Parliament in Brussels on April 27 2016 was cancelled at the last moment due to the legal threats from the protagonists at the centre of the investigation. A few days later ARTE (a French-German TV network that co-financed the film) annulled the May 3 broadcast at a short notice. The legal and political pressure on the film and its makers has continued ever since. In September 2018 the film was taken down by Vimeo for alleged defamation.

The film tells the story of how William (Bill) Browder, an American born investment consultant and manager of a fund trading in Russian energy companies' shares, invented a seminal narrative of Russian corruption and brutality. "
