Adrift (2017)

Traditional musician Shohrat Tursun hails from Uyghur, an autonomous region of northwestern China, and was famous in Japan during the 1990's. He is now relatively unknown and lives in Australia. We follow Shohrat's daily life in the western suburbs of Sydney where he takes us on an emotional self-reflective journey through his personal archive of photographs, home videos and Japanese TV footage, some of which he hasn't seen for decades. Shohrat is torn between his Uyghur homeland, his ties to Japan where his talent was truly appreciated, and suburban Sydney where he now lives with his family.
