The lives of people are often not seen behind numbers and facts. Different, bright, dramatic and happy. 100 New Faces of Kazakhstan is the story of 100 concrete people from different regions, of different ages and ethnicities, who have achieved success during these tumultuous years. They are the face of modern Kazakhstan.
