This fascinating documentary charts the events leading up the death of ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko from radiation poisoning in November 2006. Two years prior to his death, Litvinenko had publicly spoken out, accusing his former superiors at the FSB of the assassination of Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky. Whilst living in forced exile in Britain Litvinenko continued his claims against the Russian government, up until he fell ill and became a rare victim of lethal polonium-210 poisoning under highly suspicious circumstances. With no one brought to trial over Litvinenko's death and the Russian government refusing to extradite the prime suspect, this ongoing case is one of the most shocking, explosive and portentous in modern history. REBELLION - THE LITVINENKO CASE attempts to explore his accusations of corruption through candid interviews with the man himself prior to his death, as well as his family, journalists and others brave enough to speak out and demand the truth.
