Frequently Asked Questions

What is Welcome to Chechnya about? Toggle content

In the repressive Russian republic of Chechnya, a group of brave activists risk their lives to rescue LGBTQ+ individuals from persecution and certain death. They face danger from both the government and their own families, who seek to eliminate anyone who doesn't conform to traditional gender and sexual norms. Shadowing these activists, "Welcome to Chechnya" exposes an under-reported atrocity and the extraordinary people confronting evil. With unfettered access and a remarkable approach to protecting anonymity, this documentary shines a light on one of the darkest corners of human rights abuse.
