Beyond the Glacier
Beyond the Glacier is a film shot in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. The documentary deals with the conflict of water in Central Asia by analyzing the complex development of the Sir Daria River that after its birth in the glaciers of the Tian Shan mountain range, crosses more than 3000 km until it ends at the ill-fated sea of Aral. Through the experts who have studied the case and the people who live off
the water, the documentary reflects on human relationships with the natural environment and analyzes the future of the species within a context of geographical chaos.
