Ordered to Forget (Russian: Приказано забыть) is a 2014 Chechen film that depicts the Khaibakh massacre through the lense of the main protaganists Daud and Seda, two fictional characters who were depicted as witness to the massacre after fleeing their village. The film was intended to be debuted on 10 May 2014 but was banned because the Russian Ministry of Culture officially denies the events of the Khaibakh massacre and claimed the film would create ethnic hatred after denouncing the film as "anti-Russian". The Russian human rights group memorial stated the events the film depicted to be "considered a generally accepted fact". The makers of the film stated that they did not wish to promoted hatred of Russians, and the film shows ethnic Russians characters doubting the ethics of, and outright resisting Mikhail Gvishiani's efforts to kill Chechen and Ingush civilians. Despite the government's ban on showing the film, it was screened at the Moscow film festival.[1][2][3]
