Red Yurt

Red Yurt (1982) is a Soviet-Kazakh drama you can watch online on iFILM. During the years of collectivization, an agitation team known as the Red Yurt rolls into a remote Kazakh village.

Rumours of a coming collective farm spook the locals, who would rather pack up and slip across the border than surrender their herds and their familiar way of life. What follows isn't a debate but an open clash between the villagers and the agitators. Director Kanybek Kasymbekov keeps it lean — barely over an hour — and resists handing anyone an easy verdict as the old steppe order comes apart. Stream Red Yurt online on iFILM.
