"The Putin System" - Documentary by filmmakers Jean- Michel Carrt and Jill Emercy

For three years, filmmakers Jean-Michel Carrt and Jill Emery interviewed dozens of people to gain insight into the life and political motivations of Russia's most powerful politician, Vladimir Putin. They spoke to long-time supporters, like Putin's former schoolteacher, Vera Gurvich, to his harshest critics, like world chess champion Garry Karparov, as well as many KGB and Kremlin insiders. What emerged is the point-of-view documentary "The Putin System" (2007, 87 min) that presents an ominous view of what Putin is willing to do to ensure Russia regains its position on the world stage.
