About Among People
A tiny Kyrgyz aul in the mountains is slated for demolition, and its people must move to a collective farm. Young shepherd Kanat sets out for the city to study, but after being deceived, he chooses to stay, realizing he must first learn the art of living among people. The village elders, guided by timeless moral values, shape the destinies of the characters, rooted in a deep sense of belonging and communal spirit.
Directed by Bolotbek Shamshiyev, Artyk Suyundukov, Among People leans on a strong ensemble — Mir Nurmakhanov, Sabira Kumushaliyeva, Orozbek Kutmanaliev — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1978.
