«Islam: We walk with you» by Kazuya Isobe, Kyrgyzstan, 2024, 15', doc.
Synopsis. In a village in Naryn, Kyrgyzstan, there is a family of four living peacefully. They have a precious son named Islam. He was born with cerebral palsy and cannot walk by himself. Because of the remote location, the village is unable to provide rehabilitation for him. Milk tea poured into the empty cup, his mother staring at the clinic, his father and brother fixing the car. All lead to one hope. Kazuya Isobe. He is a documentary filmmaker from Japan who has created 15 short films across more than 20 countries. Notably, his films The Journey and Islam have received the following accolades:
Awards and Recognitions Hello, My name is Kazuya Isobe, the director of "Islam: Walking with You.
In the fall of 2023, while traveling in Kyrgyzstan, I met a boy named Islam. He was born with cerebral palsy and is unable to walk independently or speak.
His village is in a remote area without medical facilities, making it difficult for him to receive proper rehabilitation.
To shed light on his situation, I created a documentary about his family. This film received 7 awards and nominations all over the world.
However, since adequate treatment is not available in Kyrgyzstan, we have launched a crowdfunding campaign to support his rehabilitation abroad.
