ARALKUM

RheinMain Short Films

The tragedy of the Aral Sea, which has been transformed into a toxic desert by thoughtless human actions, is among the most horrifying environmental disasters in history. We witness alternating views of once flourishing fishing villages, images of taxidermied animals, close-ups of omnipresent saxaul bushes and quotes from colonial history.This dystopian collage stands as a warning of the looming climate catastrophe.
