Navalny, a film that followed the imprisoned Russian dissident Aleksei A. Navalny as he investigated his own near-fatal poisoning in 2020, won the Oscar for best documentary feature on Sunday, with Mr. Navalny's wife and daughter appearing onstage to deliver a message of defiance.Accepting the award, the Canadian filmmaker Daniel Roher spoke out against President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, and said he was there because Aleksei Navalny right now is languishing in a gulag six and a half hours outside of Moscow, and I want to remind the world that he is there.
