First of all I have to apologize before you - I am packing 24 hours a day, so I have to regretfully abstain from taking you on your offer... I am moving to Texas on August 28th and since then will be able to send to anyone who wishes a copy of "Saakadze", or some other disks with dances, songs etc.

Unfortunately the movie is of a super-Stalin type - main heroes (noblemen) constantly walk around with eyes wide open, crying "the princes have betrayed us". A lot of imagination spent to white wash Saakadze; some of his most interesting periods of life are omitted. There is no mentioning about him and some of qizilbashi supposedly offering Azerbaijan to Osmans.
