tl,dr: It's China policing the Uyghur issue in the context of the inaugural IndieChina Film Festival: https://indiechina.org/about/

Sadly the Uyghurs are a third-class genocide. It’s been known for years, but for some reason no one is complaining.

All those loud protesters screaming genocide in palestine up to two weeks ago are strangely quiet on this.

Ah yes, the ol’ “they’re hypocrites for complaining about a specific problem without also complaining about every other problem”—that’s gotta be on the first page of “The Rulebook for How to Stop Social Movements”.
