Misha and the Wolves
Available on
Documentaries of stranger-than-fiction misdirection have become a genre unto themselves and Misha and the Wolves - produced by British trio Poppy Dixon, Al Morrow and Matt Wells - is a particularly riveting example. In its search for the truth, mixing archive footage with talking head interviews and reconstructions, we are taken on a tense and turbulent ride.
