Event "Pre-election screening: Rodeo - Taming a Wild Country" organizer: SIA Kinoteātris BIZE
During the hottest pre-election time, Kino Bize offers a surprisingly humorous insight into the wild 90s in Estonia when the young prime minister Mart Laar and his colleagues were trying to figure out how to tame the freshly re-established country.
