It’s divided into 8 parts, with all of them approaching 10 minutes each, forming quite a large amount of material both for learning Uyghur and getting an unprecedented, up close glance into the life of Uyghur farmers in Southern Xinjiang. Unfortunately, the videos aren’t subtitled in English as was the case with the RFA excerpt. Perhaps in the future The New Dominion can take a look at each video piece by piece and write an analysis of it. However, that will take time, and so for the time being, here are the links to the video for anyone who speaks or is studying Uyghur.
