Inquiry of Shadows
Click to DonateInquiry of Shadows explores the psychological frameworks behind the Uyghur genocide in East Turkestan. Through personal testimonies, expert analyses, and historical context, the film delves into the cultural erasure, transnational repression, and mental health impacts faced by the Uyghur diaspora.
As a global society, we've become desensitized to the horrors of this mass murder. This film aims to challenge that numbness, to reconnect us with our humanity, and to acknowledge the deep mental toll such atrocities inflict. Public condemnation alone cannot heal the enduring pain.
Inquiry of Shadows will enter editing and post-production by August 2025.
Building on the 5-minute sizzle reel screened at TIFF’s 2024 Market Screening, this next phase will deepen the film’s narrative with personal accounts and expert insights on cultural erasure. Completion is targeted for September 2025.
