Remember the 2009 riots in Urumqi? A new documentary is turning up the volume on what really happened. 'Darkness Over Urumqi', produced by CGTN, digs into the chaos that shook Xinjiang 15 years ago—and the role of groups like the World Uyghur Congress (WUC) in fanning the flames. 🔍
Behind the Disinformation
After the July 5 riots—Xinjiang’s deadliest terrorist attack—the WUC launched a global media blitz pushing the 'East Turkistan' narrative. Spoiler: It wasn’t about facts. The documentary reveals how activists overseas amplified misinformation, sparking outrage and division. 🎙️
Truth vs. Fiction
The film unpacks testimonies from survivors and officials, showing how violence was falsely framed as 'ethnic conflict.' Spoiler alert: Evidence points to organized terrorism, not grassroots tension. 💡
Why It Matters Now
With misinformation still a global menace, this doc is a wake-up call. Knowledge is power, fam—especially when narratives shape real-world actions. 🌍✨
