In numerous countries, homosexuality is considered a crime. But the Chechnyan case is unique: individual homosexuals are not only the object of a penal incrimination, once their identity has been revealed, they disappear and &ldquo;no longer exist&rdquo; in the eyes of the State. In the words of&nbsp;Ramzan Kadyrov, head of the Chechnyan republic and staunch supporter of Vladimir Putin: &ldquo;<em>We don&rsquo;t have people like that. There are no gay people here.<\/em>&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Director Jordan Goldnadel, who presented the film&nbsp;<em>Happy&nbsp;<\/em>at the Montreal World Film Festival in 2016,<\/strong>&nbsp;is today dealing with this subject. Entitled simply&nbsp;<em>Chechnya,&nbsp;<\/em>his project is garnering attention and has already been heralded by critics, having received the Human Rights Prize at the St Paul festival, awarded by Amnesty International.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The murdering madness of Chechnya is portrayed through the eyes of a young man whose lover is arrested by the national police.&nbsp;<\/strong>He himself is questioned not long after and tortured for several days. The viewer is taken right into the intimacy of a family, who contrary to what one might think, takes sides with the authorities &ndash; religion, the state &ndash; which accord no fundamental rights to homosexuals. In this way, through a story based on real life,&nbsp;Goldnadel denounces the denial of this sexual orientation and basic human right, which has reached intolerable levels in Chechnya.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fs-sub-1\"><strong><em>Chechnya,<\/em>&nbsp;a short film by Jordan
