Audience Member tarkea aihe. toivottavasti herattaa keskustelua, jotain liikehdintaa. Taman yhden bisnesmiehen anteeksipyynto oli hyva homma. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Everyone must see this documentary. Totally crazy and absurd country: Turkmenistan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member The subject is interesting so I expected much more than I got. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Totuus on taas kerran tarua ihmeellisempaa. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
