Movie #3002 ........................."Navalny" (HBO)

Movie #3002 "Navalny" (HBO) - I am not a huge fan of documentaries because I feel, many times they run way too long, but I expect the best here, and this was a good one.  It gives a lot of information, but I feel I knew a lot about Navlany already since Rachel Maddow fills us in when/if there is any news about this main opposer of the Putin regime, who has been poisoned by Putin, beaten, and is now in jail, very sick.  He and his wife are soooooo heroic to me, and he looks so average and like a common man, and speaks so authentically....I guess I expect to see a red cape on him or something.  He truly is a rock star and I enjoyed this documentary --- it is so inspiring, but on the other hand, so difficult to watch how he has been so mistreated.  I'd give this a 4.
