F@CK THIS JOB/Documentary/UK/2021 The film tells the story of Dozhd (TV Rain), the country’s last remaining independent TV station, its founder Natasha Sindeeva, and their 13 year-long transformation within the tightening screws of Putin’s regime. In 2008, Natasha, a newly rich woman, decides to open an independent TV station (Dozhd) in Putin’s Russia and builds an open-minded team of outcasts ready to demand justice. By 2020, Natasha has lost everything to Russia's war between Propaganda and Truth, for which she relentlessly fights. F@ck This Job is produced by former Oscar nominee Mike Lerner for Roast Beef Productions and Vera Krichevskaya for Six Days Film. Doc Society’s Jess Search and Sandra Whipham are the film’s executive producers, with Barbara Biemann as the commissioning editor for NDR (Germany). In 2020, the project participated in Sheffield DocFest’s MeetMarket and IDFA Forum.
