Kyrgyz cartoon targets corruption
Television programme aims to educate children on bribery and police intimidation.
Published On 21 Dec 2009
A new children’s television cartoon is being launched in Kyrgyzstan with a very grown up purpose – to fight endemic corruption in the country.
The story revolves around five children who stumble on a world where bribery and police intimidation rule.
As Robin Forestier Walker reports from the capital Bishkek, it’s a thinly disguised parody of real life.
