• Stories from inside the Xinjiang camps

2022

Зарина Муканова, Руне Стеенберг

 

This film is based on interviews of the survivors of the re-education camps in Xinjiang. This film was made by social anthropologists Rune Steenberg and Zarina Mukanova in Almaty in 2022. Camp survivors and their relatives tell their stories of mass incarceration in Xinjiang starting in 2017. Each has their own story, but as importantly, this is also a collective story. Each individual was affected by the system and went through the process each in their own way, but the experience of state violence and the resulting trauma belong to a common and collective experience. This is the experience, the story, which this film seeks to document from both a personal and interpersonal perspective. The healing too and the lessons we take from it must be collective – and include not just them, but all of us.

 

• East Turkistan: the right to freedom 

2022

Қанат Бейсекеев 

 

Salih is an ethnic Uyghur from East Turkestan, who at a young age was forced to flee the country with his family to the United States. He talks about the re-education camps, as the Chinese authorities call them. His story tells us what's really going on there. This story should concern not only the Uighurs, but all ethnic groups living in East Turkestan for centuries. This is the story of an activist. East Turkestan is a subregion of Central Asia and covers the territory from the Tien Shan mountain range to the Mongolian Altai mountains. It is currently part of the People's Republic of China and is referred to as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR). XUAR is the largest region of China in terms of area and has a population of ~26 million people. About 60% of the XUAR population (about 16 million people) are people of Turkic and Mongolian origin - Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Uzbeks and Mongols.
