RUSSIA’S END TO PRESS FREEDOM FASCINATINGLY CAPTURED IN NEW DOCUMENTARY
‘F@CK THIS JOB’ IN CINEMAS THIS FEBRUARY
“An emotional journey about pursuing a dream, going through hard times and not giving
up.”
UK Film Review
"Paints the picture of a country where freedom of press has disappeared. Replaced by
propaganda and disinformation. F@ck This Job is an important film."
Backseat Mafia
Six Days Films, Roast Beef Productions, Doc Society and Journeyman Films will release
the critically acclaimed documentary F@CK THIS JOB (TANGO WITH PUTIN) in UK cinemas
from 24th February. Directed by Vera Krichevskaya, Produced by Vera Krichevskaya and
Mike Lerner (Oscar-nominated Hell and Back Again, Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer) and
Executive Produced by Jess Search (Oscar winning Citizenfour, Emmy-nominated Virunga),
Sandra Whipham (Emmy award-winning P.O.V. and Enemies of the People) and Barbara
Biemann (National Bird), the film is an unprecedented look at censorship and the
dramatic changing media landscape inside Putin’s Russia since 2008.
Natasha, 35, is a newly rich, successful woman who is looking for fame, reputation and to
make her dreams come true. She decides to launch an independent TV station in Putin’s
Russia, 2008. Natasha decides to hire young open-minded, untainted reporters without a
track record in government-run media. Soon Dozhd TV's office becomes a magnet for new,
unconventional media professionals, many of whom are part of Russia's LGBTQ community.
Coincidentally, the Russian Parliament has just passed its "anti-gay" law. From the
beginning, a very bumpy road is laid out for Dozhd TV and it quickly becomes the lone
island of political and sexual freedom in Putin's Russia.
Dozhd TV (also known as TV Rain) is the only independent TV news station that has
survived Putin's rule. Back then, this woman could not have known she would fight on the
frontline of a war between truth and propaganda and lose everything. She did not think
she would become a ‘foreign agent’ in her own country.
F@CK THIS JOB (TANGO WITH PUTIN) is in UK cinemas from 24 February
