Witness - Dagestan's Peaceful Warriors
Hidden in the mountainous republic of Dagestan, Gusein Magomaev runs a famed martial arts school that has produced several European champions, Olympians and the only non-Chinese king of Kung Fu. Nurturing an array of talent, some 200 children train at the site that provides an escape for the region's disenfranchised youth. Gusein has faced arson attacks from religious fanatics and threats from politicians while trying to keep his students focused on the next Russian karate championship.
