"We wanted to find out more - there are still questions over how many terrorists there were, how they got to the school, how the siege began." "But it was more important to tell the survivors' stories. We saw their raw despair - theyWre angry at what happened but also angry that the truth is not getting out." ——————————————————————————————————2/7—— Today on Channel 4 Guide 400 GET UP TO SPEED: MOTORING NEWS p701 Hitler TV today Sport on 4 Cinema

"Even in their greatest despair they extended their courtesy to us. They told us their stories in a very clear, modest and direct way," he says. And the Russian government? "They didn't put obstacles in our way. They were indifferent. I don't think theyWre bothered about the foreign press." ——————————————————————————————————3/7—— Signing/audio info 403 GET UP TO SPEED: MOTORING NEWS p701 Hitler TV today Sport on 4 Cinema

Despite the horrific tragedy that took place in Beslan, the place is anything but a ghost town. "People form a picture of what it must be like now but it's a lovely place - like a 1960s Provencal town," says documentary maker Kevin Sim. "People are walking around in light colourful clothes - except around the school where people wear black out of respect." ——————————————————————————————————4/7—— Channel 4 News info 438 GET UP TO SPEED: MOTORING NEWS p701 Hitler TV today Sport on 4 Cinema

"The plan is to demolish it - and it should be for safety reasons - but some think it should stay as a memorial." ——————————————————————————————————5/7—— Coming soon on Channel 4 407 GET UP TO SPEED: MOTORING NEWS p701 Hitler TV today Sport on 4 Cinema

One woman, Larisa Kudzieva, still bandaged from the ordeal, talks of her brave encounter with one of the terrorists in the school siege. "We filmed her in the hospital in Moscow," explains director Kevin Sim. "Her jawbone had been smashed and her eye needed work - she was on her 13th operation yet she was still cheerful." ——————————————————————————————————6/7—— Today on Channel 4 Guide 400 GET UP TO SPEED: MOTORING NEWS p701 Hitler TV today Sport on 4 Cinema

"Beslan is this sleepy place and out of nowhere came this dreadful atrocity," says film-maker Kevin Sim. "They show the preciousness of life. In Beslan the terrorists chose the first day of school, with everyone wanting the best for a new generation." ■ Dispatches: Beslan, Thurs July 21 9pm ——————————————————————————————————7/7—— channel4guide@teletext.co.uk GET UP TO SPEED: MOTORING NEWS p701 Hitler TV today Sport on 4 Cinema
