Sergei Bodrov’s 1996 film, an adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s 1872 novella “The Prisoner in the Caucasus,” explores the conflict between Russian soldiers and their Chechen captors. The film was shot on location, not far from the ongoing First Chechen War, in which Russian forces sought to assert control over the mountainous regions of Chechnya. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, it received high praise from many critics. Nataliya Alekseyenko, faculty member in the Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies, leads a discussion following the screening of the film, which is in Russian with English subtitles.
