Using the example of one local family, the film analyzes how the historical events of the beginning of the last century in Turkestan, affected the life of the population of this region". The director said "This film is neither a historical decoration nor a museum exhibition,... but the exploration of a real-life, real people, their reality, dignity and truth... that gets over the borders of history, mentality, nationality and race in order to reach a real sense of humaneness". World Film Reviews called it a "deceptively clever film", with the final 20 minutes particularly exciting.Uzbekistan—2000 Songs of Farida World Film Reviews 20 December 2020 https://worldfilmreviews.us/2000-songs-of-farida/ 6 September 2021 Production 2000 Songs of Farida was directed by Yalkin Tuychiev,https://xabar.uz/ru/mualliflar/anvar-namozov/faridaning-ikki-ming-qoshigi "Faridaning ikki ming qoʻshigʻi"ni koʻrdim, afsus...
