Executive Producer by Ben Stiller

On the Oscar Shortlist

Extremist follows a modern heroine standing alone against the monstrous dragon of lawless “justice.” One small act forces Sasha into a heartbreaking choice: seven years in prison — or betray herself. Told through the eyes of an artist, the story paints the harsh realities of war, prison and judicial Russia in vivid, colorful strokes. It is a true story of love and loyalty – to your partner and to yourself.
