What would you do if you were offered the following deal: “I will give you 1 million US dollars and a deputy mandate, just do not write about my corruption cases as they are. And do not investigate them!”?

The husband of director of this film, investigative journalist Ali Toktakunov, turned down such an offer and was one of those who was witnessing the trial of $700 million illegally exported from Kyrgyzstan.

AWARDED BEST ROUGHCUT at The Festival “Movies that Matter” March 2024, Haguen.
