The Chechen War

Coco: The Dove From Chechnya

by admin on Jan.08, 2008, under Chechan War Documentaries

You need to know how to speak or read German to understand this documentary. But “Coco: The Dove From Chechnya” offers never before seen footage from Chechnya through the lens of a Chechen civilian. For years Zainap Gashaeva has been documenting what is a daily occurrence in her home country of Chechnya: abduction, torture and murder. What President Putin deems “anti-terrorist action” looks increasingly like genocide. The world stays silent, be it out of helplessness, ignorance or opportunism. We follow Gashaeva, nicknamed Coca – the dove – as she fights for an international tribunal.
