BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

DOCUMENTARY MINISERIES PREMIERE: This two-night nonfiction miniseries concludes tonight, profiling six women of color who rose from the grassroots to seek election in recent years. Subjects range from Stacey Abrams and Rashida Tlaib to Lucy McBath. Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Filmmaker David France takes his camera into some unnervingly dangerous spots and conditions in this new documentary, which dares to document an ongoing pogrom in the repressive Russian republic. Chechnya’s ruler, Ramzan Kadyrov, has launched an anti-LGBTQ offensive since 2016, overseeing a government-backed campaign to identify, detain, torture and kill those “others.” The Kremlin hasn’t acted to protect them, but a sort of underground railroad of supporters has, and Welcome to Chechnya details efforts to escort them to safety ahead of the murderous forces seeking them out. France – the person, not the country – is there, with his often hidden cameras, at every harrowing step.

It is a good site post without fail. Not too many people would actually, the way you just did. I am impressed that there is so much information about this subject that has been uncovered and you’ve defeated yourself this time, with so much quality. Good Works!
