David France's latest film, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2020, is his most vital to date. "Welcome to Chechnya" visits the eponymous Russian republic in the North Caucasus, where Ramzan Kadyrov – Putin's administrative puppet at the helm of Chechnya's local government – has enacted an anti-queer purge for the past three years. Global outrage was sparked in 2017, when the purges were first reported by the western press; since then, reports are scarce, despite the pogrom continuing. This is the first of France's film projects to deviate entirely from archival footage, using instead a combination of hidden camera footage, clips intercepted by Chechen activists, and talking heads. The resulting film, however, maintains something of an archival sensibility, with Tyler H. Walk's deft editing cutting together a visceral narrative. So the thrilling urgency of his earlier "How to Survive a Plague" continues here, bringing France's compelling style to a contemporary atrocity with poignant results.
