Browder and Putin have history. Putin maintains that Browder managed to extract a large quantity of money from Russia but Browder denies it.

The film is two hours long and it is illuminating if you have a couple of hours to spare.

This claims to be an AI summary of the documentary:

The “Magnitsky Act – Behind the Scenes” is a documentary film directed by Andrei Nekrasov, released in 2016. It focuses on the 2009 death of Russian tax accountant Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow prison cell and the subsequent Magnitsky Act, a law to punish Russian human rights violators. The film was initially supported by Bill Browder, an American-born British financier who hired Magnitsky to investigate the government’s seizure of his Russian subsidiaries. However, the documentary later presents a different narrative, suggesting that Browder may have been involved in the multimillion-dollar theft from Russian taxpayers. This change in perspective led to controversy and attempts to block screenings of the film in Europe and the United States.
