Garry A @heavyg Feb 7 The first hand accounts in the videos capturing physical coercion and bodily harm to people suspected of being gay is it's hard to watch sometimes but it is sobering and brings attention to a plight that isn't discussed very much.

See more 03/16/2021 Abstract: Tremendous documentary by David France that shows us the actions of the NGO Russian LGTB Network. A strong complaint about the discriminatory, repressive and criminal policy of the Chechen government against its LGBTQ population, involving their families as repressive agents, in a country whose president, the confessed homophobe Kadyrov, has the explicit support of Putin. Extracto: Tremendo documental de David France que nos muestra el arresgado accionar de la ONG Russian LGTB Network. Una fuerte denuncia sobre la criminal política discriminatoria y represiva del gobierno checheno contra su población LGBTQ, en la que involucra a sus familias como agentes represivos, en un país cuyo presidente, el homófobo confeso Kadýrov, cuenta con el apoyo explícito de Putin.

LGBT Chechen refugees with the help of hidden cameras give the viewer an inside look at how they get out of Russia through a network of safehouses aided by activists who are trying to shed light on the human rights abuses in Chechnya.  The faces in the film are not real, but they are computer generated because they would not be safe if recognized.  This story should be on national news every day until queer people stop being killed for no reason.  This is a very tough watch and a break or two may be needed just to wrap your mind around what you just saw.  Final Score: 9/10 See more 07/28/2020 Some of the bravest men and women I have ever seen. A sobering documentary that everyone should see. See more Read all reviews
