Reviews
A must-see film about the fate of the Uyghur people. Human, moving, impeccably documented and researched. You wonder after seeing it how the world can accept this. An indispensible documentary for anyone who cares about humanity.
Authentically portrays what we go through everyday. Finally, we feel heard!
All Static & Noise stands out for its unique ability to tell the story of the Uyghur people through the voices of Uyghur people themselves. Seeing this inspiring film moves viewers to make the Uyghur struggle their own.
A necessary film because it breaks the silence. There is a moral call to action, to know and to remember, as watching this film is bearing witness from the beginning to the end.
This movie is harrowing, it is touching and it's very well made. I highly recommend everyone to watch it - no one is free until we're all free.
All Static & Noise crackles with energy from the horrors of Beijing’s persecution to the extraordinary resilience of those who challenge the authorities.
Masterful and moving. An important film that must be seen.
The relationship a lot of democratic countries have with China makes this documentary a very special one to make and quite a challenging one to host.
