Since the tragic events in the Russian town of Beslan two months ago, when more than four hundred children and adults died after being taken hostage by militants demanding independence for Chechnya, counselling centres have been working hard to try to help the survivors ... BBC2 broadcast a special concert and film as part of efforts to raise money for post-traumatic stress care in Beslan. For the programme, Jonathan Charles went back to Beslan for the first time since he reported on September's dreadful events.

I must have missed it because of the all the traveling I have been doing.
Significantly, this movie is being is being touted as an "Anti-Michael Moore film."How about that? After spending a few hours checking it out, I became convinced that this movie actually belongs in MY movie because it smells positively Rumsfeldesque and appears to be a weapon of mass deception in its own right.
