This film is about contemporary mobility and transition processes in
Kyrgyzstan. The film features several families in Ylai-Talaa Village, Osh
province and Bishkek, whose family members have migrated inside and outside
of Kyrgyzstan. The film raises many serious issues caused by labor
migration. In particular, the film shows how the labor migration affects,
among many others, family relationship, children upraising, health as well
as survival and adaptation strategies of labor migrants.
The film had been produced during two years when Dr. Susan Thieme from
University of Zurich in Switzerland was researching on multilocality
problems of the Kyrgyz labor migrants. The 15-minute documentary film was
made thanks to "North-South Research Partnership on Mitigating Syndromes of
Global Change" Project run by the Swiss National Scientific Foundation and
Swiss Development Cooperation Agency. The film was produced in partnership
with "Los Panos" NGO, Assam, India.
This film featuring will be followed up by a discussion with local scholars,
NGO representatives and officers from the Kyrgyz Agency for Migration and
Employment.
