Exiled in the U.S., activist Rebiya Kadeer is fighting for the human rights of her people, the Uyghur (pron. wee-ger), China's oppressed Muslim minority who live in what they refer to as East Turkestan, China's Xinjiang Province. Her campaign condemns her sons to on-going solitary confinement in a Chinese prison, and having served six years in solitary herself, she understands the appalling consequences for them of her actions - but she will not relent. The film itself created a storm of controversy before it premiered at the Melbourne Film Festival when Chinese authorities attempted (unsuccessfully) to have the film removed from the program.
