^How'd you see F@ck This Job? I literally just saw the trailer for it but it still has limited release options...seems like Vimeo rental is the only one for me.
IIRC it was co-funded by the BBC, so they had it in their long running Storyville strand over a year ago but under the title "Tango with Putin". It's still on BBC iPlayer now, which has made me realise I included it in my list of best films last year, so I might have to have a last minute edit to this year's list.
So out goes 'F@ck This Job?', in goes another BBC Russia doc at no25:
Russia 1985-1999: TraumaZone
All 7-hours are currently somehow on youtube:
