Movie: Citizen K ( 2019 )
Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney delivers one of his strongest explorations of global politics in considering the strange case of Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Once believed to be the wealthiest man in Russia, Mikhail Khodorkovsky rocketed to prosperity and prominence in the 1990s, served a decade in prison, and became an unlikely leader of the anti-Putin movement. In tracking Mikhail Khodorkovsky's story, Alex Gibney creates a compelling portrait of post-Soviet Russia, a nation caught between radically divergent political models - and where fortunes can transform overnight. The collapse of the USSR ushered in an era of chaos and opportunity. With laws lagging behind socioeconomic change, Russia fomented a kind of gangster capitalism. Mikhail Khodorkovsky took advantage of the privatization of state assets, created Russia's first commercial bank, and built Yukos, Russia's biggest oil company. His success in business was accompanied by a level of political influence that would prove precarious. In 2003, just months after publicly criticizing corruption within Vladimir Putin's government, Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested for fraud, and Yukos' shares were frozen and conveyed to the Russian state. He was found guilty, and sentenced to nine years' incarceration. Then, in 2010, Mikhail Khodorkovsky was hit with new charges of embezzlement and money laundering: he was essentially accused by the state of stealing his own oil, in what many recognized as a show trial.

Bush's war on terror and response to Hurricane Katrina, Barack Obama's presidential election, and the financial crisis, hip-hop's rise to dominance and a creative renaissance in television. The first decade of the 21st Century was one of the most dramatic in American history. The 2000s began with a controversial election, quickly followed by the devastating terror-attacks of 9/11. As a result, the United States launched two wars and adopted unprecedented security measures. Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005 as the most destructive natural disaster in the nation's history. In 2008, the economic system teetered on the edge of collapse as bankruptcies and bailouts dominated headlines. In that same year, America elected its first black president, a remarkable achievement given the countries past. Hip-hop continued its ascendance while digital advances, like the iPod, encouraged the democratization of American music. Television entered its "Second Golden Age" and perhaps the most significant cultural changes were those prompted by the maturation of the Internet and the advent of social networks, with sites like Facebook revolutionizing the ways we interact.
