Dictatorland Kazakhstan, Belarus and Tajikistan.

Ben Zand presents a three-part documentary series on the world's most brutal and, at times, grimly hilarious totalitarian regimes, investigating how rulers' caprices can have silly and horrifying consequences.

Part 3 Tajikistan

In this episode, Ben Zand travels to Tajikistan to experience the sinister and at times bizarre side to living in a dictatorship. Landing in the capital city, Dushanbe, Ben heads to see one of Tajikistan’s biggest claims to fame the second tallest flagpole in the world. Of course it was built as the tallest, but has now been pipped to the top spot by Saudi Arabia, another dictatorship.
