Dariya Fadeeva of Russia wants to resume her education at a school in America.

"This is a great country," the star of a new Showtime documentary, "Three Days in September," said. "When I went to school in Texas, I wondered about why there was so much security. Then when the terrible things happened in my hometown in Russia, I began to wish that we had similar security."

Ms. Fadeeva is 17. She had just returned to Beslan after a year as an exchange student when she witnessed a terrorist siege of a school, during which nearly 350 hostages were killed — 180 of them children.

"My younger sister, Alia, was among the hostages," Ms. Fadeeva said the other day during a visit to New York for the film's premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. "She fortunately survived, but she was badly injured. The entire tragedy is something that I will never forget."

The documentary covers that tragedy, which took place September 1-3, 2004. Narrated by the Oscar winner Julia Roberts, the film shows how a group of nearly 30 heavily armed Chechen Muslim terrorists stormed School Number One in the town in southern Russia.
