ABOUT THIS CURATION
Take a closer look at what's around you: do you see beauty and value in what was once vilified or ignored? This bucket nudges us towards rediscovering empathy and questioning systems while acknowledging the realities of native species, peoples and geographies.
FILM DETAILS:
The film traces the memories of the Amu Darya, a river once flowing to the Aral Sea. Through voices of Uzbek and Karakalpak communities, it captures the loss of water, the resilience of people, and the USSR’s transformation of a vast lake into the world’s youngest desert.
