To Russia With Love explores the impact of Russia’s anti-gay laws as the world’s media converges on Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. LGBT athletes and activists had to choose whether to risk their own safety by speaking out against Russia’s anti-gay laws.
Cameras follow the experience of outspoken figure skater and commentator Johnny Weir (who caused controversy before the Olympics for seeming to refuse to speak out against what was happening in Russia, while simultaneously preparing to make this doc), tennis legend and official US Olympic delegate Billie Jean King, as well as several openly gay Olympic hopefuls and Russian LGBT activity.
We’ve got three clips from the EPIX Original Documentary as well as the newly released trailer, which you can take a look at below. The doc premieres in the US at 8pm on Wednesday October 29th, 2014 on EPIX.
