Woman from Beslan is Laureate of Moscow Film Festival
On December 10, the Day of Adoption by the United Nations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Moscow opened its International Film Festival on Human Rights "Stalker", in which the film by Vadim Tsalikov "Beslan. Hope" took part. The heroine of this film was awarded with a prize of the festival.
This year's festival is held on December 10-15 with support of the European Union and participation of international organizations. Its main mission, according to the organizers, is to form - with the help of films - legal consciousness and human responsibility before the society.
Irbek Doev, head of the press service of the permanent mission of North Ossetia in Moscow, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that this year the heroine of the documentary by Vadim Tsalikov "Beslan. Hope" - Nadezhda (the name in Russian means "hope") Tsaloeva-Gurieva - is a Laureate of the Festival. She is a teacher of Beslan School No. 1, who was, together with three children, two of whom perished, taken hostage by terrorists.
After the tragedy, the woman managed to return to school and resume teaching. Thanks to Nadezhda's efforts, the museum in memory of victims of the Beslan tragedy was opened.
