A forgotten goddess of carpet weaving is summoned back to life as a filmmaker pieces together lost memories across the Uyghur diaspora.

Gülem is a mythic figure from the Uyghur weaving tradition, conjured here as a companion on a journey across Central Asia in search of what has been lost. Weaving together interview footage, home movies and historical archives, Do You Know That I'm With You feels less like a conventional documentary and more like a dream conversation between generations. Folktale and lived experience slip in and out of one another, the familiar made strange and the everyday given a quiet, mythic glow. A deeply felt exploration of ancestral memory and the threads that hold a culture together, even far from home.
