From the CBC:

A film festival in Taiwan has announced it will be screening a documentary about the exiled leader of China’s Uighur minority, in a move that’s bound to upset the Chinese government.

Organizers at the Kaohsiung Film Festival said Saturday that The 10 Conditions of Love, about World Uighur Congress head , will be shown during the festival, which runs Oct. 16-29.

Festival spokesperson Liu Hsiu-ying said the film fits perfectly with the event’s “people power” theme, adding that “we hope people will not see it from a political angle.”
