The soundtrack features traditional Uighur music (courtesy of Lisa Tchoudjinoff). Footage largely shot in Kashgar, along the Karakoram Highway, and at Karakul Lake.

Where is Ginger Xiang from? Is she an interpreter?

[AjSchokora]

China....no.

These people are Chinese citizens just like how Hawaiian people are American citizens, they are both culturally different but part of the nation.

Of course it is sad to know that but looking to the history you understand that Eastern Turkistan is not the name of terrorists but geographical location called Turkestan that divided into western and eastern turkestan. I think the using ancient geographical name of land in a term of terorism is not good and myself i protest any terms of terorism. But i would like know you that it is historical and geographical term.

It is not allowed to carry out any independent research on Uyghur political prisoners and the number have never been revealled. It is clear thousands of young Uyghurs are sufferring in prison just becuase of different opinon from the Han Chinese and its government. No Han Chinese in prison because of their different ideas on Uyghurs. The Uyghurs are the true owners of "Xinjiang". This fact cannot be changed in spite of whatever you do to try to distort the history.

they are not being slaughtered like sheep. only in your erroneous imagination.

[SHINYABOY]

white people are white blacks are blacks all asians should be one too

[peymaania]

It is simply awful that they are being slaughtered like Sheep by the Han Chinese. This is exact same attitude that the Japanese had towards the Chinese in

the 1930's-40's. I realize the Han Chinese are under a lot of economic pressure, however they must give the Uyghurs their autonomous region as

they had promised in 1955. The Beijing Gov't has reneged on their earlier promises when it comes to most non-han minorities. The Uyghurs are mostly peaceful people must be able to live their lives.
