(Russia) Festival Premiere On September 1, 2004, a group of heavily armed rebel extremists stormed into School No. 1 in Beslan, Russia. For three days, more than a thousand children and adults were held hostage in a sweltering gymnasium, denied food and water, and forced to keep their hands over their heads. The harrowing siege ended on September 3rd with a series of explosions and a hail of gunfire that killed some 350 people -- half of them children. In this film, the youngest survivors of Beslan tell their story.
