00:00War has two sides.
00:04I say it has three.
00:06The innocent civilians caught in the middle of a medieval brutal war.
00:12Come on! Stay down!
00:17Did you know that the war between Russia and Chechnya is the longest ongoing conflict in the world?
00:24I don't think we need a war correspondent in Chechnya.
00:27We need a people correspondent.
00:31If you really want to report the truth, I'll show you difficult things for you to see.
00:36Someone who's willing to confront the powerful by asking hard questions.
00:41Even if it means pissing them off.
00:44The Kremlin wants the world to believe that Russia is waging a war against terrorists.
00:50Its real purpose is a dedicated campaign of genocide.
00:55You said you were going to be tough on him.
00:57You've dropped a bomb on his doorstep.
01:00I was aiming for his lap.
01:02If you choose to be a journalist in Russia, you have to accept the risk.
01:08Your wife, she's making quite a name for herself. A bit reckless, isn't she?
01:13So she's well aware of the danger she's in.
01:16But are you?
01:20We expect many more mass graves to be found.
01:23I've woken up every morning and wondered if my mother has been found in a ditch.
01:26I'm a journalist.
01:27Journalist.
01:29The tactics employed by the Kremlin is itself creating a wave of violence that has never been experienced.
01:37Oh my God.
01:38The war is coming on.
01:40People are killing each other. You get in the middle and you're dead too.
01:43Chechnya's your baby, while this newspaper is mine.
01:47There is nothing of value apart from this.
01:50There is nothing of value apart from the truth.
01:55And I do not intend to stop.
