Synopsis

Set around the startling true story of the assassination of Russian journalists Alexander Litvinenko and Anna Politkovskaya, Murder Me Gently blends real life events with Film Noir style storytelling to help highlight the human rights abuses and government oppression systemic in modern day Russia. When a Russian journalist is shot dead on her doorstep, a conman and a spy join forces to wreak revenge on those they consider responsible. But while all is fair in love and war, little is ever civil in the world of international espionage. Who is fooling who? Who is on whose side? And what wouldn’t you give to torture an ex? In the classic tradition of Film Noir comes a thriller/ comedy that pits lover against lover, friend against foe, and nation against nation in a global game of cat and mouse that will affect us all.
