...first thing one notices about the opposition candidate is his face, full of scars and blisters that were absent from his once youthful, handsome visage just six months ago. And though Viktor Yushchenko, 50, raises bees in his spare time, he and his supporters from western Ukraine claim that there is nothing natural about his disfigurement, which they say is the result of a poisoning attempt by his political rivals in September...
...will watch all 14 hours of the documentary extras and, perhaps, the three films on their own, then with the two tracks of commentary, which means another 20 hours.
