2005 Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival

Children of Beslan
Ewa Ewart and Leslie Woodhead. 2005. 60 min. (Russia)
Festival Premiere

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.
