Taskovski Falls for CPH:DOX’s ‘Daughter of Genghis,’ a Nuanced Portrait of Radicalization From ‘The Lost Leonardo’ Producer (EXCLUSIVE)


Mongolia-set ‘Daughter of Genghis,’ about a woman's fight for motherland and motherhood, lands at Taskovski ahead of CPH:DOX.

The debut feature of award-winning photo-journalists Kristoffer Juel Poulsen and Christian Als will world premiere in the F:ACT competition section of the leading international documentary festival CPH:DOX in Copenhagen. The producer points out that when the filmmaking team first approached her, she had just broken away from the male neo-Nazi gangs to set up her women-only group, which “embraced the swastika as an ancient Buddhist symbol, standing for spiritual power and strength. Crucial to the filmmaking team’s ability to bring their project to fruition was their collaboration with anthropologist Elizabeth Fox, who had been leading research on Mongolia since 2012 and served as translator and line producer on the film.
