The Prisoner of Wakhan
October 20, 2023
1h 50m
Overview
The Kyrgyz government is offering humanitarian aid to ethnic Kyrgyz roaming the Wakhan Corridor in northeastern Afghanistan. Many inhabitants of this region leave their highland homes in search of a new life. Among those who get the opportunity to move to Kyrgyzstan with their family is Nurulkhak. Despite government support, education and housing, adapting to a new way of life is not easy. The difference in life experiences creates an abyss between locals and newcomers. Nurulkhak realizes that the urban way of life cannot give him the freedom that once accompanied him in nature.
