About the Film: 'Amu Darya: River to a Missing Sea' is an award-winning short film exploring the memories of the Amu Darya - the Central Asian river that no longer reaches its destination. The film offers an insight into how Uzbek and Karakalpak communities are dealing with the desiccation of the Amu Darya and the downstream Aral Sea; how the USSR turned the Aral Sea from the world's fourth largest lake into the world's youngest desert. Through tales of loss, adaptation, and hope, River to a Missing Sea offers the human story of an environmental disaster.
