A Diary from the Next World

Director: Oxana Barbovskaya

Year: 2003

Plot: In 2002 a hostage-taking was committed in Moscow, at the performance of a musical. Some 1000 hostages were kept in the theatre for three days. Their rescue took the lives of 130 people while more than 700 were saved. The documentary is based upon the real diaries of a former hostage whose 15-year-old son was shot in the storming. Despite all the personal drama and horrible footage, the film finishes with a happy end. However, the authorities "strongly recommended" the producer not to broadcast the film in Russia.—anonymous
