Can you imagine a world without independent news?

In Russia, state-owned television dominates the media landscape, manufacturing a reality for the millions of Russians watching it.

This Storyville documentary from the BBC follows the journey of independent Russian news channel Dozhd, and the relentless challenges its team has faced.

Film director Vera Krichevskaya, a producer at Dozhd in its early years, documents the career of founder and owner, Natasha Sindeeva.

Alongside her team of liberal journalists, Sindeeva struggles to keep Dozhd on the air while pressure mounts from Putin's regime to hide the truth.
