Synopsis:
The Crying Steppe, directed by award-winning filmmaker Marina Kunarova, is based on true events that befell Kazakhstan during the 1920s and 1930s, when 8.5 million people died from hunger during the Great Famine, artificially imposed on the country by the Bolsheviks. The haunting film tells the gripping story of an eagle hunter named Turar and his wife Nuriya who overcome blind fear of death and despair in an attempt to save their desperate family and village inhabitants from dying of hunger during the tragic and heartbreaking events occurring in the Kazakh Steppe, which eventually forced 1.5 million people to leave their native homeland.
