Welcome to Chechnya

Activists fight for LGBTQ+ rights in dangerous Chechnya

Trailer

Why watch this film?

"Welcome to Chechnya" is a punch. A well-delivered gut punch. After all, this documentary by David France hit the mark in denouncing a criminal and urgent social situation in Chechnya, a state of Russia, where LGBTQIA+ communities are persecuted by forces of a fascist and authoritarian government. The director also uses strange special effects, but they work, to blur the identities of the persecuted and still show the emotion that accompanies them in their escapes, reunions with family and other such moments. A serious, necessary movie that shows how the world still needs to walk miles and miles to be truly just and equal.
