ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE THE REVOLUTION FROM HERE
by Emma Charles, Ben Evans James
synopsis
An expansive journey through the Kazakh steppe, the documentary excavates layers of myth, history and geology to reveal the shifting fault lines between a government, its people and their land. The film brings into focus Kazakhstan’s search for a post-Soviet identity and a state-sponsored programme of cultural production that on the one hand connects back to the ancient folklore and belief systems of the Silk Road, while on the other, seeks to embrace the values of Western capitalism.
