The 10 Conditions of Love

A documentary about the Uyghur people and Rebiya Kadeer

Film introduction by Rebiya Kadeer

Remarks by Rep. Jim McGovern(D-MA) and Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-VA),

Co-Chairmen, Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission

The 10 Conditions of Love tells the story of the Uyghurs' struggle for basic human rights in China through the remarkable life of Rebiya Kadeer, a Uyghur woman working for the rights of her people at great personal cost. The documentary explores Ms. Kadeer's experience as an entrepreneur in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region/East Turkestan and a  member of the National People's Political Consultative Committee, her subsequent imprisonment as a political dissident, and her forced exile in the United States  since 2005. Ms. Kadeer works to inform the world about the treatment of her people by the Chinese government while her family remaining in China suffers the consequences of her human rights activism.

This 53-minute documentary was written and directed by Jeff Daniels and produced  by John Lewis. NED and the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission are grateful to the filmmakers for their kind permission to screen the film.
