安娜•波麗特柯夫斯卡雅身為俄國記者，卻以對祖國入侵車臣的坦率深入報導，贏得舉世尊敬，並讓她成為領導人普丁的眼中釘。曾在飛機上險遭毒害，2006年10月7日，她在莫斯科寓所遭殺手槍擊身亡。本片請來蘇珊•莎蘭登旁白，重現安娜生前的珍貴影像，並走訪她的子女、前夫、同事、甚至俄國前情報官員，抽絲剝繭一名女子對抗整個不義政府的偉大戰役。
On October 7, 2006, Vladimir Putin`s 54th birthday, the journalist Anna Politkovskaja is shot in the lift of her Moscow home. Anna`s death is a personal tragedy: she has just learnt that she is to become a grandmother. But the murder is also a political act, for Politkovskaja was the President`s fiercest critic. Why was she shot in cold blood?

「我本來想拍一部完全不一樣的電影：關於不同文化背景的人如何選擇夥伴，以及所謂的自由選擇並不一定會帶來幸福。然後我聽到了波麗特柯夫斯卡雅的遇害消息，想起我還有許多訪問她的畫面，我們有些對話十分地坦承。坦白說，我不會一面倒的認為她所做的都對，畢竟人非聖賢，但她尋求真理、自我批判的態度令我印象深刻。她遇害的來龍去脈應該讓全世界都知道。」─艾力克．柏格洛
「I actually wanted to make a completely different film - about how partners choose each other in different cultural backgrounds and why our so-called freedom of choice does not always bring about happiness. Then... I heard about Politkovskaya`s death and immediately thought about the recordings I still had in which she featured. Some of our conversations were very personal. At first I fought against it, but ultimately I had no choice and it soon became imperative for me to make Letter to Anna. I have to say that I don`t think Politkovskaya was always right. She was human and therefore fallible. But I do have the impression that she always strove for the truth. My memories of Anna are of an elegant woman, discerning and self-critical. She deserves to have the background to her murder brought into the open.」- Eric Bergktraut
