10 Conditions of Love

Yesterday I saw this amazing documentary about Rebiya Kadeer who advocates for the independence of Uyghur (East Turkestan) from China. It shows the struggles and punishment her family went and go through because of that. Kadeer rose from obscurity and poverty to become the seventh richest person in China and was two-time nominee for the Peace Nobel Prize. The documentary is fantastic, well produced and bringing the reality from the point of view of Kadeer and her family. I had the opportunity to learn a lot about this region of China and their culture and beliefs. Despite the fact it was a monday and really cold and raining the theatre was fully booked since this moving is getting a good word of mouth. I would recommend this documentary to anybody interested in learning about the struggles people go through to see their people free.

I give 4 out of 5 for this movie.

I also had the opportunity to the the short movie prize winning "Two Men". Basically there are two men running really fast one after the other and a third person watching them and narrating the ideas that go through his mind. I think is a fantastic idea.
