CANNES, France (AP) - A documentary about poisoned Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this week.
"Rebellion: The Litvinenko Case," will screen at the festival Saturday, a decision the movie's director, Andrei Nekrasov, said was made at least three weeks ago — well before British prosecutors named Andrei Lugovoi as a suspect in Litvinenko's murder and demanded his extradition from Russia.
Nekrasov said it was the festival organizers' idea to keep the film a secret until now.
