Question: Do both Bound for Glory (1976 film) and The Magnitsky Act – Behind the Scenes films have the directors from the same country?

In 2007, Magnitsky was hired by American- born British financier Bill Browder to investigate the government's seizure of three of Browder's Russian subsidiaries. Discovering evidence of embezzlement, Magnitsky implicated two senior police officers in a tax rebate scam that used shell corporations plundered from Browder's holdings to defraud the Russian treasury of$ 230 million. Subordinates of those officials then arrested Magnitsky and charged him with the very crime he had exposed. However, after initially presenting the widely accepted story about murdering of Magnitsky in prison by guards on the orders from Russian state officials, the movie suggested an alternative version of the event that, as" The Guardian" relates," Magnitsky was not beaten while in police custody, and that he did not make any specific allegations against individuals in his testimony to Russian authorities." The Magnitsky Act – Behind the Scenes is a 2016 documentary directed by Andrei Nekrasov, concerning the 2009 death in a Moscow prison cell, after 11 months in police custody, of 37- year- old Russian tax accountant Sergei Magnitsky. By suggesting that Magnitsky was, as paraphrased by" The New York Timesan accomplice rather than a victim," the documentary has provoked international controversy. The film takes its title from the Magnitsky Act, a bipartisan bill passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Barack Obama in 2012, designed to punish Russian officials allegedly responsible for Magnitsky's death. <SEP> Before his career as a director Ashby edited films for Norman Jewison, notably" The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming"( 1966), which earned Ashby an Oscar nomination for Best Editing, and" In the Heat of the Night"( 1967), which earned him his only Oscar for the same category.
