City of Murder and Mayhem. Coping with Life in Moscow

Description

This film portrays life on the edge of death in Moscow. It follows the exploits of two men: Roman Trotsenko, a 28-year-old multimillionaire entrepreneur who lives every day knowing it could be his last because of the death count in the business world; and Commander Yevgeny Petrushin of the Special Forces Fast Reaction Team, a crack squad dedicated to fighting violent organized crime. Though these men never meet, their lives run in strange parallels amidst the sheer, bloody madness of Moscow. With hard-hitting footage and candid interviews, this powerful documentary offers unparalleled insight into the lives of these two very different men, risking their lives every day for very different reasons simply because of the work they do.
