Oliver Stone snags interviews with Russia President Putin

US famous director Oliver Stone has made a documentary on hard-to-get interviews with Russia president Vladimir Putin.

‘The Putin Interviews’ features a series of conversations between filmmaker Stone and the Russian president. The documentary program will air for the first time in June by an US network.

“If Vladimir Putin is indeed the great enemy of the United States, then at least we should try to understand him,” Stone said in a statement.

The US director as well as film producer Fernando Sulichin conducted an interview with the Russian chief of state for two years, a media report said, adding the interviews feature Putin’s views on various topics, including relations between the U.S. and Russia and the crisis in Syria and Ukraine.

This isn’t the first time Stone has focused on world leaders in his works as he made documentaries such as those related to Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
