From Black Forest hideouts to Oscar luncheons and BAFTA wins, Navalny documentary making waves yyc
Odessa Rae prepping for her first meeting with Alexei Navalny for her documentary Navalny. Photo by Odessa RaeNeither Rae nor Roher were complete novices to non-fiction filmmaking when they first met Navalny at his hideout. Rae was born in Calgary and spent her first year here before moving with her parents to India. When her parents split, she returned to Calgary at the age of 8 and lived with her maternal grandparents until the age of 13.
Rae and Roher, who directed the 2019 music doc Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band, first met Grozev when they were working on a different documentary about Ukraine. Grozev began researching Navalny’s poisoning and suggested the two filmmakers meet with him. The Ukraine film was put on hold.

They started speaking to Christo because Christo had information they needed about Navalny’s poisoning. He said ‘Hey, I work with this documentary crew, Odessa and Daniel, and I trust them.
“We were not connected to any big production companies at the time and we were Canadian, not American, which I think actually helped us,” she says. “Navalny was always pictured as being a puppet of the CIA or the U.S. government, but we were independent Canadian filmmakers. I think that he liked that. The next morning, we just started filming. It was just Daniel filming at the time because there was no one else.
