Who is this Vladimir Putin? Who is this man who suddenly--overnight and without warning--was handed the reigns of power to one of the most complex, formidable, and volatile countries in the world? How can we trust him if we don't know him?
"First Person" is an intimate, candid portrait of the man who holds the future of Russia in his grip. An extraordinary compilation of over 24 hours of in-depth interviews and remarkable photographs, it delves deep into Putin's KGB past and explores his meteoric rise to power. No Russian leader has ever subjected himself to this kind of public examination of his life and views. Both as a spy and as a virtual political unknown until selected by Boris Yeltsin to be Prime Minister, Putin has been regarded as man of mystery. Now, the curtain lifts to reveal a remarkable life of struggles and successes. Putin's life story is of major importance to the world.

Documentary about Russian feminist punk group Pussy Riot. Formed after the split of Russian anarchist art collective 'Voina', the Pussy Riot members have staged a number of situationist-style performances to make their point about issues including LGBT rights, feminism and the country's president Vladimir Putin. In an attempt to highlight the relationship between church and state in Russia, the group held an impromptu performance at Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior in February of 2012 for which they were put on trial facing charges of hooliganism. The trial, which led to the imprisonment of three of the goup's members, was recorded and streamed online, an act which has garnered support from a number of organisations throughout the world who believe the members have been unjustly treated.
