DIC Presents: Uyghur Film Screening + Discussion

Jewher lands in the United States after authorities arrest her father at the Beijing airport. Abduweli, imprisoned and tortured in China for teaching the Uyghur language, leaves for Istanbul upon his release. Together, they join survivors of China’s "reeducation camps" and their families in Turkey, Kazakhstan, Europe, and the United States to expose atrocities with the hope that global awareness will bring change. This collaboration with the Uyghur diaspora across seven countries creates a powerful film that exposes both the enormity of state-sponsored oppression and the individual struggles under these conditions.
