Six million people are living in the small rugged Central Asian state of Kyrgyzstan, placed along the Silk Road; the ancient trade route between China and the Mediterranean. In this documentary, we get close to the historically nomadic population and their customs, while getting to understand what it means to be living in the post-era of the Soviet collapse.

  • Just came back from a 2 week trip. Very poor people with golden hearts. Never i felt neglected or even threatened. I wish them economic growth, it is good they are turning to tourism it has great potential. The climate is very brutal, hot, dusty, smogy. Health facilities are very bad and extremely outdated. Feel very sorry for the locals, most kind and helpful people ive met, wish them all the best in the future.
