A controversial film about Uighur leader, Rebiya Kadeer, is making headlines again in Australia. The film, 'The 10 Conditions of Love' explores Kadeer's push for greater autonomy and religious freedom for China's 10 million mainly Muslim Uighurs. Last August, the Chinese Government expressed its anger at the documentary's screening at the Melbourne International Film Festival, as it considers Rebiya Kadeer a terrorist. The ABC owns the rights to the film, but is accused of backing out of broadcastingit.
