Second Sunday Cinema
August screening: Shadow of the Holy Book, http://newsreel.org/
Saparmurat Niyazov, self-appointed President for Life of Turkmenistan, used his "holy book", the Ruhnama, to justify and propagate his despotic regime until his death in 2006. The film's satirical approach lays bare the support he received from profiteers despite systemic abuses of human rights.
