03/22/2009 tarkea aihe. toivottavasti herattaa keskustelua, jotain liikehdintaa. Taman yhden bisnesmiehen anteeksipyynto oli hyva homma. See more 02/08/2009 Halonen's documentary about the human right violations in Turkmenistan and its leaders "holy book" Ruhnama. Watching corporations make a profit by supporting this mad mans teachings is sickening. Halonen and partners use Michael Mooresque tacticts but don't (it seems anyway) take so much liberties for the sake of a good story. See more 02/03/2009 Everyone must see this documentary. Totally crazy and absurd country: Turkmenistan. See more 01/30/2009 Interesting documentary about Turkmenistan of which not many are even heard of. What is it that makes its dictator more "okay" to the Western countries than, say, Saddam was? Special credits to YLE for making this available for free in its service Areena. See more 01/30/2009 The subject is interesting so I expected much more than I got. See more 01/28/2009 Totuus on taas kerran tarua ihmeellisempaa. See more Read all reviews
