Turbonegro, an unapologetic punk band that plays with homoerotic and otherwise provocative symbolism, gave the world the middle finger in their early days and started their own fan club during one drug-fuelled night in '95 as a joke.

Everyone knows about Kiss Army, but what is the mythical fleet unleashed by Turbonegro, provocatively known as Turbojugend, that has grown into a worldwide phenomenon? At the heart of Turbonegro fandom is love and brotherhood, regardless of age, colour or gender.

Just before the collapse of the Soviet Union, perestroika gave Chinghiz Aitmatov the opportunity to reflect on the goals and ideals of socialism and how it itself had denied them. In this essayistic film, starting with his personal life story (his father was shot as an enemy of the state, he himself was a highly respected student and artist in the Soviet Union) and the history of the Kyrgyz people (bearers of a vibrant and distinctive culture destroyed by socialism), he eventually arrives at big questions about the goal of human progress and the fate of humanity in the 21st century. "What will life be like for people in the 21st century?" he asks, not least in view of looming ecological catastrophes, and answers: That is the sole responsibility of humanity. Long difficult to find, the film has now been uploaded to YouTube in a restored 4K version by Kyrgyzfilm.
