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.

Documentarian David France chronicles the anti-gay purges in Chechnya during the late 2010s. 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

Some of the bravest men and women I have ever seen. A sobering documentary that everyone should see.

Shocking, infuriating and extremely important. The cruelty experienced by Chechnya’s LGBT community should be known by all who care about human rights and dignity.

It's hard to write a review because this is an important subject matter. But I think it was a very poorly made documentary for a very important subject. It was very traumatic to watch because of how it focused on certain very violent, graphic scenes, rather than presenting the subjects as people. I wanted to learn more about the victims, their lives, rather than being force fed horrific videos. Many of the videos should come with a warning - there is a scene of an attempted suicide with graphic video involving blood, there is a very very graphic scene showing a rape happening involving a man. This to me was very concerning, I don't believe this video would have been shown if it was a woman. What does this serve, to show these very graphic videos? There are so many graphic videos online of people being killed, or tortured to the point where it is almost "porn" to some people and it encourages desensitization and it is very traumatic to view for people who may have experienced these things or who are sensitive. There are no warnings when you watch the film however, so I am warning you now. I would have rather read about these issues than ever watch this film. I used to work for an international tribunal on genocide and war crimes so I am no stranger to reading about horrific things but I try to understand the issues rather than have graphic imagery being forcefed to me. I did make a donation to the center after watching the film. I hope to learn more about the stories about the people involved in the film from articles or a better made film in the future that doesn't try to reduce the people to graphic scenes. It reminds me of the American version of the movie Traffic that focused on violence and divisiveness versus the British series that actually captured the stories inclusively and explained the situation better.

The whole world should be aware of this outrage, that nobody knows about. It's unbelievable that these things keep happening.

Amazing documentary on HBO.....Watch it.
