In the Washington D.C. area?  Then make sure you join us for a screening of On a Tightrope, a documentary following four Uyghur children living in an orphanage who dream of becoming champion tightrope walkers, an ancient Uyghur tradition.  The film examines the hardship the children face and the struggles of all Uyghur people living under Chinese Communist rule.

See the film at the Laogai Museum (1109 M St NW, Washington, DC) on February 11, 2010 at 6PM.  Traditional Uyghur snacks and refreshments to be served. Come early to see our Special Exhibition "The Uyghur Experience:Sixty Years Under Chinese Communist Rule"

This event is co-sponsored by the Laogai Research Foundation and the Uyghur American Association.
