Congratulations to Tyler Walk who won the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Editing at Sundance 2020 for his work on Welcome to Chechnya.
"With unfettered access, Academy Award nominee David France (How to Survive a Plague, 2012 Sundance Film Festival) chronicles a modern-day underground railroad, using a remarkable approach to protect the anonymity of his subjects. France is the perfect filmmaker to tell this story. He’s a warrior with a camera and the ultimate purveyor of the imperative of documentary to expose atrocity and ignite change. With scorching power that will leave you quaking in your seat, Welcome to Chechnya dares to confront genocide in the making." (Sundance)
Welcome to Chechnya will be available on HBO in June 2020, for more information click here.
