Description
Directed by Deborah Stratman. Running time 67 mins.
This fascinating documentary follows the Turkistani Uyghur tightrope artist Adil Hoxur as his troup tours the China-controlled desert regions of Central Asia. The film provides a rare glimpse into the lives of the community as they travel from town to town, continuing a tradition that has passed down through the generations. Whilst not overtly political, the film hints at the ongoing struggle of this marginalised community to preserve their language and traditions in the face of considerable hostility.
Free, booking required
