For the first time, a French director-journalist will join an
official trip to the heart of one of the most secret regions
in China: Xinjiang. Unstable and by far the most volatile
province in the country, it’s a unique opportunity to visit
an area that’s normally out of bounds to tourists.

Located in the far northwest of the People’s Republic,
on the borders of central Asia, Xinjiang is the scene of
frequent clashes between the Chinese authorities and
the Uyghurs, Turkish-speaking Muslims who, like their
Tibetan neighbors reject the colonization of their territory.

Going beyond the Uyghur problem (which gets less media
coverage than the unrest in neighboring Tibet) the aim
of this documentary is to decipher the propaganda that
is currently being put out by the Chinese, who are trying
to convince the world, and Chinese tour operators in
particular, that the region is a haven of peace, a haven
on earth suitable for mass tourism.

Thanks to reliable contacts among the organizers of
this “Chinese tour” and the help of diasporas based in
Europe and Central Asia, and thanks also to accounts
given here for the first time by Turkish-speaking Muslims
and footage of the most recent revolts, we’ll be able to
draw a parallel between a slick, consensual tour and the
the distress of an entire race.

To get a better understanding of the extent to which
everything here is built on lies and propaganda, we shall
show videos shot by the minorities themselves as well
as their accounts. It’s the kind of footage we rarely get
to see, showing a reality that China would prefer to keep hidden…
