World-renowned journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya (Maxine Peake) went from being a local print journalist to braving the Chechen killing fields and exposing Russian state corruption under Vladimir Putin.

She was ultimately murdered in the elevator of her block of flats and it remains unclear who paid for the contract killing.
