The pickup took place in Grozny, Moscow, St.Petersburg and London. First time it was shown at the International film festival and Human Rights Forum in Geneva in March 2011, where it received a Grand-prix of the World Organization Against Torture. In mid-June it was shown on French TV.
God bless the Estemirova Family, for their hard work to better the lives of the Chechen NoxChai People! God bless Roman Karpinsky, lawyer of Natalya Estemirova’s family,….and God bless the producers of this film, the French journalist, Mylene Sauloy and producers of French television, for opening peoples eyes to the Genocide against the NoxChai people, which the Russians continue to try to cover up! Thank Heavens that there are those who still care for the plight of the NoxChai, and the Chechen Refugees fleeing the bloodshed, and chaos caused by the Russian Military, and General Bukanov’s Russian Soldiers! Blessed be God’s name in Groznia, Dagestan, Ichkeria, Makachkala, Stavropol, and Astrakan for putting up with such Russian Oppresion and Russian Aggression, the kind that tortures 5-10year old boys and girls, and murders Chechen babies still in the womb, like General Beria did in the Lentil Karbakh Operation of 1944, and like Soldier Kononov did in Latvia too! Death to the Russians!
