Uighur Identity in Xinjiang » 13

The filming of a Chinese version of America Idol in Beijing included a Uighur contestan.  In his second round of singing his fans jumped down on the floor and started dancing.  He lost that round.  The film was fogged when a month later the police in Xinjiang forced me to develop some of my film in their darkroom.
