Pitch

BLACK LIST tells the Kafkaesque, true story of Alexander Lapshin, a Israeli/ Ukrainian/ Russian travel blogger who unwittingly found himself on Azerbaijan’s infamous Black List. He survived arrest, imprisonment, and a brutal assassination attempt in a tale more chilling than any invented by John Le Carré. Caught in a web of international intrigue and blackmail, Lapshin incredibly wound up being accused of being an Armenian spy and plotting to overthrow the government of Azerbaijan. Lapshin’s arrest in Belarus and subsequent extradition to stand trial in Azerbaijan became an international human rights cause célèbre that continues to reverberate today. A terrifying tale of one man pitted against all the machinery of a Stalinist totalitarian regime. (Crew United)
