Welcome to Chechnya, is now available on DVD and streaming services.
One of the most powerful moments in this documentary has a young gay man recalling his arrest and torture. When he went to visit a guy he met online, policemen hiding in the bathroom arrested and detained him. They tortured him in hopes of getting the names of other gay men.
