Mission: Find Aral [Official Trailer] - Story of the Aral Sea in Karakaralpakstan

Описание: Mission: Find Aral is a documentary going beyond the catastrophe of the Aral Sea - exploring the past, present, and future of the Aral Sea region.

Lying between the autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, the Aral Sea was an endorheic lake fed by two rivers, Amu Darya and Syr Darya.

From the world’s 4th largest lake to the youngest desert on the planet (the Aralkum) , the Aral Sea almost entirely disappeared in 50 years. Now, only 10% of its original surface area remains.

We focus on the hope and optimism via the people who are devoted to creating a better tomorrow.

The personal stories and feelings of three locals, Anvarbek, Khurmet and Yusup, are partnered with analysis from state authorities, NGOs, academicians, and innovators.

Through Global Disruptive Tech Challenge 2021, we worked with DKU University, Almaty (Kazakhstan) in partnership with Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) and the World Bank, interviewing challenge participants who propose solutions that imagine the future of the Aral Sea basin.

The Aral Sea derived its name from the Kyrgyz word Aral-denghiz, “Sea of Islands”.

The Aral Sea known in other languages as: Арал теңизи (or Aral teńizi) in Karakalpak, Орол денгизи (or Orol dengizi) in Uzbek, Арал теңізі (or Aral teñızı) in Kazakh, and as Аральское море in Russian.

What is left of the Aral Sea in Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan is known as the South Aral Sea. What is left of the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan is known as the North Aral Sea (Kazakh: Солтүстік Арал теңізі, Russian: Северное Аральское море).

The city of Moʻynoq, Мойнақ (or Moynaq) in Karakalpak, Мўйноқ (or Moʻynoq) in Uzbek, and Муйнак (or Muynak) in Russian, was once the fishing port on the Karakalpak side of the Aral Sea. The city of Aral, Арал in Kazakh and Аральск, (or Araljsk) in Russian, was once the fishing port on the Kazakh side of the Aral Sea.

The Aral Sea drainage basin encompasses Uzbekistan and parts of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, and Iran.
