Sochi’s Olympic Games are known as the most expensive in history, and the film unveils the corruption, greed, grafts, abuses and dirty businesses behind this lavish event, starting from procurement and construction that have no justification and reaching issues related to environmental degradation.
The uncomfortable production “Putin Games” kicked off in 2013 and has been filmed over a two year period as a collaboration between studios in Germany, Austria and Israel.
“We had permission for all filming we realized in Russia, e.g. Sochi and Moscow, and we have no obligation to show the film to anyone before the premiere,” said film producer Simone Baumann at the end of last year, in an interview for the Sunday Telegraph. 50-year-old Ms. Baumann explains her decision not to allow the authorities see the film, in that the team received no funding from the Russians.
The film contains a key sequence, in which construction magnate Valery Morozov reveals the threats and terror he was subjected to, a situation that forced him to leave Russia and seek political asylum in the UK: “I was threatened with death, we all know the story, Russia does not really appreciate people’s lives.”
