The Making of a New Empire
1999, English. Directed by Jos de Putter.
Dutch documentary filmmaker Jos de Putter directs this portrait of Chechnya's charismatic leader Khoozh-Ahmend Noukhaev.

He doles out $100 bills to villagers, makes grandiose plans for the bombed out capital of Grozny, and dispenses with presidents at a whim.
