‘We Live Here,’ About a Former Soviet Nuclear Test Site, Boarded by Syndicado Ahead of CPH:DOX Premiere (EXCLUSIVE)


Syndicado has boarded Zhanana Kurmasheva’s feature doc debut “We Live Here,” ahead of its world premiere at CPH:DOX.

“We Live Here” follows three generations in the desolate Kazakh steppe, once a Soviet nuclear test site, as they confront the place’s haunting legacy. Convinced their daughter’s illness stems from radiation, they seek proof while she feels torn between love for her homeland and the sense of looming danger it still holds. Kurmasheva participated in a number of international workshops and training programs, such as the East-West Talent Lab at goEast – Festival of Central and Eastern European Film in 2022.
