New at the Browning
Directed by David Novack
Produced by Janice Englehart ('86)
Not Rated, 103 minutes, DCP
In English and Chinese, Uyghur, and Kazakh with English subtitles
Jewher Ilham scheduled to appear live!
Jewher Ilham, a Uyghur teen from China with no English, lands in the United States after she is violently separated from her father at the Beijing airport as he is detained. Abduweli, a linguist and poet imprisoned and tortured for teaching Uyghur language to 6-year-olds, makes his way to Istanbul upon his release. Testimony and action from survivors of China's network of "re-education camps" and their families, in Turkey, Kazakhstan, Europe and the United States, infuse All Static & Noise with an urgency that exposes the mass brutality of state-sponsored oppression in Western China. Together these voices highlight the moral dilemma between risking the safety of families back home by speaking out and the necessity of exposing atrocities in the hope that global awareness will bring change.
