Cursed and Forgotten (1997, English Subtitles, 60FPS) Chechen war documentary

Sergei Govorukhin, son of well known Soviet and Russian film director Stanislav Govorukhin, was a Russian scriptwriter and war correspondent. This is his first and only documentary, dealing with his feelings about the first war he covered - the first Chechen war - aswell as his very cynical view of Russian society during this time. These feelings and opinions were shared by many other war correspondents and cameramen at the time. The author used heavily contrasting footage and sound to illustrate his point of the indifference of 90’s/early 2000’s Russian society towards the conflicts it found itself in after the Second World War. Sergei Govorukhin, aged 50, died of a stroke almost ten years ago, survived by his more well known father, two sons and a daughter which was born only a year before his death. Прокляты_и_%
