The documentary on the Beslan massacre was possibly the greatest and most profoundly sad piece of film I’ve ever seen. It’s a perfect book-end, as far as the realpolitik of what is possible to happen in Russia, as the Russian anti-war film COME AND SEE, by Elem Klimov, from the mid-80s.
I saw it, or at least one, and just sobbed.
A remembrance.
