Director David France (How to Survive a Plague) captures the work of LGBT+ activists in Russia in this urgent, award-winning documentary. Using deepfake technology to protect the subjects’ anonymity, Welcome to Chechnya remains, above all, a tender and empathic masterwork of political filmmaking.

With great immediacy in its first-hand accounts and an incisive use of archival footage, this Academy Award®-nominated documentary dives deep into one of the most tortured yet tide-turning moments in recent American history. A remarkable portrait on the potentiality of significant social change.
