From 1991, Lidia Yusupova was one of the few voices to tell the world of the atrocities committed by all of the belligerents in Cecenia. Defined by Amnesty International as “one of the most courageous women in Europe”, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006, and a friend of the journalist Anna Politkovskaja, Lidia has often received deaththreats, and lost her assistant Natalya Estemirova to a murder in 2009. Lidia has never forgotten the Caucasus populations. This film was shooted underground.
