Voici le résumé du film:
A 15 minute documentary followed by a debate on combatting impunity for killed journalists in Dagestan.

Language of event: English & Russian
For two decades Russia has consistently been one of the highest killing grounds for journalists with over 350 journalists killed since 1991. While many died in accidents and caught in the cross fire of conflicts too many have been the subject of targeted killings where the killers are rarely prosecuted.
This film by the Russian Union of Journalists and Article 19 focuses on the Northern Caucasus region of Dagestan where instability and civil unrest have seen dozens of journalists and activists killed over the years. It was made as part of a campaign for justice and the prosecution of the killers of Akhmednabi Akmednabiyev who was shot dead outside his house in July 2013 after a series of threats and one previous failed assassination attempt. The following debate will be focused on media freedom and safety of journalists in Russia and international solidarity.
