Chechnya Documentaries

RTD’s Chechnya documentaries take you to Russia’s once-troubled republic in the southern Caucasus to see how this land of contrasts is now striking a balance between tradition and modernity. After two bloody conflicts in the 1990s and 2000s, much of Chechnya was left in rubble. Now, it’s home to one of the largest mosques in Europe and is even trying its hand at high fashion. In RTD’s Chechnya documentaries, you’ll meet a doctor who treated the wounded on both sides of the Chechen conflict and continues to heal the scars left in its wake. Or, you can see how ancient blood feuds are still all too common in the Caucuses and find out what local governments are doing to deal with them.
