Considered a terrorist by many, Shamil personifies the Chechen warrior ethos. The film answers the broader question of why Shamil and thousands of other Chechens fight. Featuring an interview with Salman Raduyev. 6:10 pm CHISTILISHCHE/Purgatory (Russia, 1998, 115 mins., directed by Aleksandr Nevzorov) *** In Russian WITHOUT subtitles **** Nevzorov's controversial fiction film about the "first" Chechen war of the 1990s, produced for Russian television by the equally controversial media magnate Boris Berezovsky. Set during the original assault on Grozny by the Russian Army in January 1995. A cinematic orgy of non-stop violence and horror, and an allegory for the agony of a threatened and dismembered Russia, beset on all sides by enemies (crime, Islamic fundamentalism, Western materialism, American perfidy, and hostile neighbors) and unable to save itself. Some see this film as part of an orchestrated propaganda campaign in preparation for the "second" Chechen conflict. Graphic violent content. Sponsored by REECAS/JSIS.
