SYNOPSIS:
Shailo Djekshenbaev is a photographer living in Bishkek. For years he has documented in his work the changes in his country, Kyrgystan. The little known republic in Central Asia, its tradition interwoven with the legacy of Dschingis Khan and the mystique of the Silk Road, was under Soviet rule until 1991. Following a revolution in April 2010, Kyrgystan became the first country in Central Asia to introduce a parliamentary democracy. But the road to democracy has proved long and treacherous. Ethnic conflicts between Usbeks and Kyrgyz led to terrible riots in June 2010. We join Shailo on a journey to the turbulent South.
