Isa Yasan, Kalbinur Rahmati, Alinaz Rahmati, Musa Yasan

Drama Deep in northwestern China, surrounded by cotton fields and desert, lies the Uyghur village that Isa calls home.

	Author	Review
United States	Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter	"A subtle yet incisive look at how China's Muslim minority grapples with the pressure to ditch their own culture (...) 'First Farewell' thrives on humanity rather than dogma, and offers poetry rather than propaganda"	POS
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"An intimate and affecting debut (...) The film always remains sincere and sensitive (...) Assisting immensely are some naturalistic performances, particularly from Yasan"	POS
