Watch SHADOW OF THE HOLY BOOK Tonight on the Sundance Channel

“Occasionally tongue-in-cheek but always cheeky…” Variety

Turkmenistan has some of the world’s largest oil and gas reserves in the world––as well as one of the worst records on human rights. Western companies have long supported the country’s dictator, Saparmurat Niyazov, through translating and praising the Ruhnama, his book of social and political propaganda. SHADOW OF THE HOLY BOOK explores how some companies use the Ruhnama to gain access to the country’s rich resources.

SHADOW OF THE HOLY BOOK airs tonight, September 14, at 9:00 PM on the Sundance Channel.
