2021 Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Feature and Best International Feature!
When a catastrophic fire at a Bucharest nightclub leads to the mysterious death of the owner of a powerful pharmaceutical firm and the quiet resignation of a health minister, a crack team of reporters at Romania’s Sports Gazette jumps to investigate. What they would come to uncover is a massive and shocking web of fraud that goes right to the heart of the government. Closely tracking the heroic efforts of the Gazette journalists as they discover layer upon layer of corruption and criminal malfeasance, Alexander Nanau’s masterful, ever-twisting exposé—hailed as one of the best docs of 2020—reveals the price of truth and power of press in partisan times.
