That moment when you find
@uyghur_resistance in the front window of a bookshop!
Even more wild: as soon as we stopped filming, the woman working at the store took the book from the front window 👀 We went inside and saw that someone was actually buying that copy 😭💞
Thank you
@readingsbooks for stocking
@uyghur_resistance 🙏🥹 it was really amazing to see the book proudly on display.
This is a wonderful achievement, not for me, but for the Uyghur community. And especially for the team that created and executed the book.
All congratulatory remarks must go to:
@biddle.biddle - he came up with the idea for the book & took every photo.
@nuria_ksm - she’s the Uyghur editor.
@kate.bensen - she sorted out all the project management and logistical things.
And for every Uyghur who consented to having their photo taken, and who contributed a piece of writing…it’s an honour to be standing next to you.
