Saturday Conversations on Law
Today's video story: For the first time, the truth is revealed about the massacre of defenseless Azerbaijani civilians perpetrated by Armenian and Russian soldiers in the small village of Khojaly in the Caucasian mountain region. Nearly 700 people were murdered and 10,000 were rendered homeless when their houses were destroyed during one night in 1992. The bloody conflict is shown but at the same time a story of bravery, sacrifice and redemption is depicted in this spectacularly filmed documentary. Witness the human story of the musician who saved the lives of 50 neighbors but lost his wife and then spent months in torturous captivity. Meet a mother who gave birth and almost lost her newborn daughter if it had not been for the help of a Russian newspaperwoman who covered the war but became a hero. The filmmakers have brought together for the first time the heroes and the victims, the aggressors and the witnesses to the event. The lessons of ENDLESS CORRIDOR are more relevant to today’s worldwide conflicts and prejudices than ever before!
