Kleine Perestroika
Little Perestroika
Shailo Djekshenbaev is a photographer living in Bishkek. For years he has been documenting the changes in his country, Kyrgyzstan. The little-known republic in Central Asia was under Soviet rule until 1991. Following a revolution in April 2010, Kyrgyzstan became the first country in Central Asia to introduce a parliamentary democracy. But ethnic conflicts between Uzbeks and Kyrgyz led to terrible riots. We join Shailo on a journey to his country's turbulent south.
