37 Uses for a Dead Sheep background

37 Uses for a Dead Sheep

The Pamir Kirghiz people have traversed Central Asia, fleeing the U.S.S.R to China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and finally remote eastern Turkey, in a quest to preserve their cultural heritage.

A tribe of 2,000 Pamir Kirghiz, exiled from Central Asia for 27 years, live in Eastern Turkey. An Anglo-Turkish film crew arrives to tell their story, capturing revealing interviews, cinematic reconstructions, and comedic moments. The film explores their antipathy to Communism, which drove them from Soviet Russia, China, and Afghanistan to their current exile. It's a mix of historical document, ethnographical description, cultural conflict, and comedy about filmmaking.
