My Friend Terrorist

There is no evidence that Shamil Basajew died, but there are many versions of his death. If he is alive he probably betrayed and “bought” his life in exchange for keeping the secret about the corruption of Russian officials and the mechanisms of their power. If he died, indeed, it was due to a treachery of those whom he trusted the most – his companions who gloriously fight for Chechen independence and Jihad.
The search for the truth reveals the secret world which exists beyond the laws of democratic order: mafia bosses, bandits, fighters, terrorists, Islamic fundamentalists, prophets and shady businessmen.
A man, whose life was overturned by his friendship with Basayev, will look for the Chechen commander. Miroslaw Kuleba, a journalist turned sniper, is capable of getting as closer to the truth than anyone else thanks to the underground Chechen rebels who conduct their own investigation about Shamil.
