1. The Director Johannes interview with Bill Keller, former executive editor of the New York Times was surreal.
2. Elegantly shows the visible & invisible lines journalists operate under in Central Asia, the UK and the US, media heavyweights The New York Times and The Guardian included.
3. Central Asia has some sharp, inspiring & brave journalists working under difficult conditions. You need to know who they are.
4. Julian Assange, shows stellar journalistic acumen.
5. Gives a nuanced glimpse into WikiLeaks, Assange; how and why they do what they do.
6. Some wicked camerawork in not great conditions.
7. The -istans are beautiful.
Watch MEDIASTAN.
And now for the minor disappointments:
1. Women are in the shadows in this film, I kept on waiting for more on Alina.
2. The narrative and film flows naturally and beautifully until we arrive in the US. Then skillful editing takes over. Too skillful.
