Filming in the Stans?
Hi everyone,
5 of us guys from New Zealand are heading from Vladivostok to London next year via Mongolia and the 'stans. We've been thinking about taking a couple of cameras with us to record our trip, at least for memory's sake if nothing more.
I remember reading somewhere that officials in various stans (maybe uzbekistan, turkmenistan and tajikistan?) aren't welcoming of journalists (ie won't let them into the country). If we have a camera with us, are we likely to be branded as journalists? Would anyone have advice on how we can explain that we're just filming the thing for our own memory?
Thanks
Rob
