For Uyghur artists in the diaspora, creative engagement on the ongoing crisis of the Uyghur region has been a great challenge.
In this episode we discuss how cinema can be a powerful way of telling Uyghur stories and how Uyghur film directors in the diaspora are trying hard to find ways to produce meaningful films.
Enjoy our conversation about the making of the film "Nikah" by Mukaddas Mijit and Bastien Ehouzan and the upcoming feature film "Waiting for the End" by Memetjan Semet.
