The Price of Truth

The Price of Truth is a gripping documentary that chronicles the courageous story of Dmitry Muratov, editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta, Russia's sole independent newspaper. With a history of brutally silencing dissenting voices, including six journalist murders, Muratov's unwavering commitment to free speech has earned him international recognition, culminating in his Nobel Peace Prize in 2021. As tensions escalate with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Muratov takes a daring stand, using the cover of a documentary film festival to secure safe passage for dozens of journalists, and then bravely returns to Moscow to protect his newspaper and its remaining staff.
