TELUS Talks | Pride and persecution: David France

In Chechnya, LGBTQ+ people are living in fear of being discovered and killed, just for being who they are. A group of activists are risking their lives to create safehouses to help persecuted Chechens escape. Oscar-nominated filmmaker David France discusses his documentary Welcome to Chechnya, which is a tribute to the human spirit. While we celebrate Pride this year, we are reminded that hard-fought rights can be reversed and that we must speak up in defense of those who are vulnerable. From health and wellness, to community and social responsibility, TELUS Talks with Tamara Taggart shares stories, busts myths, and delivers valuable information to Canadians. This weekly podcast is hosted by veteran broadcaster Tamara Taggart.
