EP. 42 - in conversation with director and screenwriter bringing up the history of the Chechen Republic, Vladlena Sandu.
The conversation begins by speaking about Vladlena's complex identity; being born in Crimea, moving to Chechnya and living through the War, becoming a displaced person in Russia and eventually finding a safe home in Amsterdam, in March 2022.
Her films "Holy God" and "No Nation Without Culture" speak about the complex history of the Chechen Republic dating back to the 1940s. Confrontational, personal and very political visual work that reveals modern colonial structures of the Russian Federation and helps understand the current threats to the sovereignty of other former Soviet countries.
