Synopsis
The film chronicles the revolt that led to the toppling of president Bakiyev in April 2010, and the chaos into which the country plunged in its aftermath, culminating with the large-scale inter-ethnic violence in June 2010. Lacking power and legitimacy, and battling its own family network and clan-based divisions, the interim government has had a hard time to stabilize the country. All this is documented through interviews with several top officials, former president Askar Akaev and “people on the street”. From Bishkek to the southern cities of Jalal-Abad and Osh, over the breath-taking highway uniting North and South through the Tian-Shan mountain range, Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, Russians, Meshketian Turks, and other ethnic minorities share their anger, frustrations, and hopes.
