Russian trolls

The so-called "review" posted on 31 May 2016 by zaboyf is by one of paid Russian trolls.

CITY 40 was not released when he posted his "review". The Russian trolls are employed by the Russian authorities to serf the Internet and attack anyone who is critical of Russia in order to control the country's image in the media.

CITY 40 was released worldwide on NETFLIX on September 1, 2016. [https://www.netflix.com/watch/80119917?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C0%2C43474327c7d286f9e513c7fb2d226eec5fb96243%3Aa48a094deb3440d4dc6cd43307a903af8614384f]

The viewers will judge for themselves. Russia and its trolls cannot intimidate us in the West.

Hi Samira, can I ask you some questions?

- Can you reveal us what your next documentary "Article 42" will be about? Will be about the Lisbon Treaty? Will be it avaibale in Netflix too?
- Nadezhda was questioned by the police and forced to leave Russia because of the documentary or only because of her job?

Don't worry about trolls, as you can see "0 of 5 people found this review helpful" :)

Thanks for your message. I'm afraid I'm not able to discuss details of my current film project publicly.
Regarding your question about Nadezhda - I don't have access to the details of FSB's file so I am not in a position to respond to your question with certainty. Thanks again for your interest.

It's pretty obvious too, considering they even said they didn't actually watch it and don't have any other imdb activity at all.

Thank you for the heads up and stopping by. Just watched City 40 and it was very well done. I have been interested in that area since first hearing about it maybe 10 years ago.

"Russian trolls"? who "serf the internet" (sic)? really? okay, you're hurt, I get that, it's just human...
but making unfounded accusations, which are furthering hate and ignorance does not sit well with the image of a documentary maker. the author of the "review" clearly states, that they haven't seen the film. just sayin'!

how about making a documentary about the hate campaign of western globalists against any people who dare to resist? like the destruction of Lybia by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama? how about all those western financed NGOs, corrupting any society they insert themselves in? just follow the money! how about the scam of "human rights", which is the ideological backbone of the imperialism of the so called West?

no, of course not since, you are "us in the West"! 

I came here from Netflix, just wanted to read some more about the film, before I watch it. I won't now. you make the film look like agitprop. not cool.

by the way, this is what the Wikipedia page for Ozyorsk currently says:

"City 40" is a documentary movie about the town, by Samira Goetschel, released in July 2016

Gee she lost views from somebody who is clearly not interested in watching it. I'm sure she was struck with horror and grief. And Yup - Wikipedia is always 100% accurate. And much more informed than the filmmaker herself.

You're pretty see-through, kiddo.

it doesn't matter what wikileaks site says!! the person responsible for the film told you when the film came out!! and I "WILL SUBSCRIBE TO NETFLIX AND WATCH THE FILM SHORTLY" because of your pathetic whining. You views mean nothing to samiraso, so shut your mouth and move on!! idiot. thanks for great film samira!
screw Capn_Corny!
