Being Uzbek & Uyghur and the Threads of Identity || The Doppi Project - Ep 01

[@FdikxfkkxZDFEWDCjdjSSa]

As an Uyghur still in mainland China, It is glad to see those cultures, which shared by both Uzbek and Uyghur. I hope one day we can live freely, China is very sick and crazy now.

Uzbek and uyghur are one nation! To curse to russian and chinese for separate us..

the content nadirs been putting out is unmatched. the cinematography is honestly something else

[@ThatMedic]

Nadir - can’t believe you kept this from is for so long. For real though; this is one of your best projects. The story telling, colour grading, sound design and I’m not even going to start with the cinematography... mashallah bro 👏🏽

[@qalbi7392]

Three years later this video popped up on my page and I love it. Her uncles are so sweet, funny, so kind hearted just like our Uyghur uncles. That made me smile same time tear my heart apart 😢😢😢 I missed my family in East Turkistan so much 💔💔💔💔

[@sariqqiz4858]

Thank you so much for this amazing video! I fell in love with Uzbekistan, its people and its culture 3 years ago. The yodgorlik factory is an amazing place and I try to go there when I'm in the country.

[@moe081997]

Peace, love, unity, and respect from Indonesia. Really amazing piece of work. Keep up!

[@hawranissi8222]

Goodness Mr. Unique. I didn’t want this episode to end! I fell in love with Uzbekistan about 8 years ago when I read an Arabic historical fiction book about it. Ever since I’ve been dreaming of visiting it and perhaps living in it. Migrant and refugee children like us, who despite being grateful for the opportunities the host countries provided us with, feel homeless. Sometimes. As if we don’t fit within the identity boundaries that had been drawn for us. I’m glad Subhi had the opportunity to visite her home country. I wonder whether, one day, I will be as lucky as her; to visit my country, my grannies, the grave of my older sister, the grave of my ancestors. For this day to come, an entire regime should fall. Still, I hope I won’t be too old when that day comes. Thank you Nadir. Sincerely.

[@holywow7792]

Beautiful comment. Can you please share the name of the Arabic fictional book you were referring too.. thanks

[@EnisDeParis]

Wow bro, this needs to be on Netflix! Kudos to your creativity!

[@hawgin9788]

Amazing to see Subhi being able to feel like that her life is very much connected and rooted in the Uzbek culture. It was also interested to see her explain how Nadir’s perspective had opened her eyes towards things she didn’t see before. - I feel hostile somehow towards my parents’ culture while being a child of diaspora myself. I hope to feel the same way as you two have while developing and exploring. - On another note, thank you Nadir and Subhi for sharing something so personal. Nadir you did a beautiful job in portraying the Uzbek culture and the doppi journey.

[@lahcenhafidi5007]

Subhi's culture is very similar to mine, beig around those simple traditional people really warms the heart, this was sooo beautiful, i can't wait for the next episode, please make it soon Nadir.

[@ouzo2000]

I was so excited to learn of the Doppi Project yesterday... especially so because I am currently working together with members of the South-west Sydney Uyghur community to reveal some glimpses into their culture in our local museum/gallery. I was delighted to see that yours was exactly my experience; in every family home I visited were banquet-sized dining tables laden with delicious traditional Uyghur food! I have rarely experienced such overwhelming hospitality and generosity. I am so glad I have been able to meet this group of brave and determined people who are incredibly focused on preserving and sharing their endangered culture. (some taking significant risks to do so) I feel privileged to be in a position to help bring the little known Uyghur culture to the Australian public... I loved this story...it is beautifully shot and full of heart...a truly worthwhile and important project!🙌🏻

[@monaa.6148]

This is soo beautiful!!! It made me cry😭 grow up between two cultures too. Hit me hard

[@Sabrina-cs2tq]

This is also such a major anthropological method: telling th story through the hat, as an anthropologist I can just say: WOOOOW! Amazing content, really!

[@azertymozart2334]

For real high quality silk, called khan-atlas, you can go to Hotan sity in Sharqiy Turkistan aka Uyghurstan, now called Xinjiang -Uyghur autonomous region in china :-))). Uighur & Uzbek are like tween brothers separate by destiny or more correctly by two: china & russia:(((. Many thanks for sharing this wonderful experience.

[@WaseemsWay]

You're the GOAT, insert a million views here!

[@coskunozan]

Dear Brother, this is so valuable. If been trying to learn videography for couple of years, it so beautiful to see what it can do if the story has depth, if people are authentic. I feel like I'm saturated with meaning. Completing lost sentences, completing unfinished ideas. Thank you for this precious piece of art!

[@Lina-sh8df]

had to come back to rewatch this masterpiece, and the good thing I guess about having the worst memory is that I get fresh goosebumps each time as if I’ve never watched it before :)

[@lefxxwill7740]

Nadir I'm honestly at a loss for words. The beauty and value you create is so generous! Thanks soooooo much for creating this art and letting us witness the good you do.

[@edaseker167]

MashaAllah @Nadir Nahdi you are someone KZbin needs hundreds of! This is what I call quality content. Not some average video, this is a complete new level ❤

[@khadijah9604]

This was brilliant on so many levels, I keep rewatching it. Thankyou for your authenticity, your storytelling. 💛

[@BigBangMemo]

I can't believe you produced this all by yourself, it's a work of art! I can't wait to see the rest of this, Uzbekistan looks like a scene from the Alchemist, the baza'ar, the people and the amount of culture that's in every clip! Just beautiful.

[@bilalsenturk8422]

I cant begin to describe the joy, happiness, and knowledge that I gain every time I watch your videos. You are indeed one of the best story tellers I know. Bless you brother, God has gifted you with such talent so you could help tell stories of others who may not have the voice . So happy I had the opportunity to chat with you briefly when you were in Jakarta. I cant wait to see more, send my regards to your family as well.

What an amazing project, and such a gift that you have created these videos to share it with the world. I remember WAAAAY back in the 1980's doing a project for a college course and researching traditional clothing - I was already bemoaning the fact that jeans and t-shirts were taking over worldwide. I have always loved the symbolic meaning of traditional cloth. A million thanks for this and to everyone in the video who encouraged Subhi to continue to wear her Uzbeki clothing.

[@fatinabilah]

i was smiling throughout the conversation between the two older ladies with subhi especially when one of them said; "When you smile, your eyes smile." Just by watching it gives me the warmth and full feeling. hats off to you, nadir! amazing video!

No, Uyghurs are brothers only for Uyghurs

[@Salomsalom-sp2fl]

​@@kasyakyoubfgamindikisboratso you're a jealous tajik

[@edwardguo7995]

​@kasyakyoubfgamindikisborat Why not Uzbeks? Both Uzbeks and Uyghurs can be dated back to Chagatai Khanate, the same ancester, then separated to East Chagatai (Uyghurs) and West Chagatai (Uzbeks). The languages of Uyghur's and Uzbek's sounds more like dialects with each other and the culture and the clothes are so similar. It would be one country, if not occupied by the Russians and Chinese separately.
