Chechnya’s war of independence has raged for years, but Americans rarely see the human face of the conflict. This Wide Angle report illuminates the ruined—yet still inhabited—cityscape of Grozny and its surrounding countryside, sifting through both Russian and Chechen perspectives on the ongoing clash. The program depicts Russian troops conducting “cleansing missions” through a rural Chechen village, visits a barely functioning university in the heart of the city, reveals life in a refugee tent city, and goes inside an active unit of Islamic Chechen fighters.
