The Trial: The State of Russia vs Oleg Sentsov (Russian: «Процесс: Российское государство против Олега Сенцова», romanized: Protsess: Rossiyskoye gosudarstvo protiv Olega Sentsova) is a documentary film directed by Askold Kurov. It tells about the case of Ukrainian director Oleg Sentsov, who was detained by Russian special services in Crimea and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Production
Kurov shot preliminary court sessions and filmed conversations with Sentsov's sister Natalia in Moscow. Ukrainian director Andriy Litvinenko filmed episodes involving Sentsov's friends and AutoMaidan participants in Ukraine.[1] Video interviews were recorded in support of Sentsov with celebrities from around the world. An Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign set a goal of €12,500, but collected commitments of only €1,750.[2] However, a campaign on the Ukrainian platform of the Community Fund raised UAH 45,200.[3]
