This film is based in Chechnya, while far fetched, is one of the only western films that actually has Chechnya as a central them, set, and location. Wesley Snipes is armed and extremely dangerous in THE MARKSMAN, an explosive action-adventure thriller where nothing is what it seems. With Russia on the brink of nuclear annihilation, there’s only one man who can save it: The Marksman (Snipes). An elite U.S. Special Forces operative, he’s been ordered to take out a Chechen nuclear power plant before terrorists set off a live reactor. Infiltrating the heavily-guarded facility, The Marksman indicates the target for an American \missile strike and makes his escape. But when he discovers it’s the missiles and not the terrorists that’ll ignite the device, The Marksman realizes he’s been set up. And so begins a race against time as he attempts to disarm a target whose detonation will trigger the death of thousands and topple two world powers. Not sure if, or why, Chechen terrorists would cause a meltdown of a nuclear reactor in their own country, let alone if a nuclear reactor would ever be built there by the Russians for that very fact, but it is not a bad action flick.

A Prayer For Beslan is a remarkable Documentary, very poetic and powerful.  It explores how the Chechen War would overflow into the relatively peaceful Southern Russia town of Beslan, not too far from Chechnya itself.    This documentary presents never before released footage of the terrorist attack in the 43 minute documentary that investigates what really happened.  Key elements include exclusive interviews with eye witnesses, hostages, the Russian negotiator and the Head of the Investigation committee.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Preview of “A Prayer For Beslan”

BBC Interview with Hostage on mobile phone still inside the theater as Chechen terrorists have taken over. He describes the situation as “calm” all things considered and we’re not sure how much longer after this interview the rescue attempt was carried out by Russian security forces.

Foreign video taken during the terrorist siege of a middle school in Beslan Russia. At least 330 people were killed over three days, including 172 small children. In this footage we see the “rescue” operation, the Russian security forces and Spetsnaz storming the school. Reports are conflicted on who ordered the attack, the Russian authorities blame locals for storming the school, but as we have seen in the past, those in charge were concerned more with squashing the threat than the safety of those at risk. Did the call come down from Putin to attack? We do know that the Russians lied to the Chechens about sendin high ranking negotiators that were supposed to be there that day, perhaps to buy time for the attack to be planned and carried out. Opinions will most likely vary depending on your allegiance.

Here is footage I have never seen from the Moscow Theater siege that apparently tells the story of the FSB and Spetsnaz response to the terrorist takeover.

If someone can help with the translations of the most important parts that would be great.
