In Search of My Sister is a poignant documentary directed by Jawad Mir, chronicling the harrowing journey of Uyghur-American activist Rushan Abbas as she seeks answers about her sister Gulshan's disappearance in China's Xinjiang region. After Gulshan, a retired doctor, was detained by Chinese authorities in 2018, Rushan's quest for justice led her to become a prominent voice in the global movement against the Uyghur genocide. The film, shot across a dozen countries, features interviews with Gulshan's daughter, Uyghur diaspora leaders, and scholars, providing a multifaceted perspective on the ongoing human rights crisis.
