TOVARIŠČ POLICEJSKIJ (COMRADE POLICEMAN)

The police in Kazakhstan have a problem with their image and have launched a campaign to improve it. For over six years, people have had the opportunity to ask the police open questions at street stands, which aims to convey a sense of openness and transparency. A journalist from Kazakh state television is tasked with drafting a report about the campaign. But she has to go to great lengths to put it together. In a single take, director Assel Aushakimova manages to create an entertaining piece of social criticism.
