Dokhunda


Dokhunda is a 1934 Soviet drama film directed by Lev Kuleshov.

Plot

The film tells about the powerless laborer Edgor, who is popularly called "Dokhunda", who starts a new life in Tajikistan. The film is based on the novel with the same title by Tajik national poet Sadriddin Ayni, but the project was regarded with suspicion by the authorities as possibly exciting Tajik nationalism, and stopped. No footage survives. In 1956, director Boris Kimyagarov was finally able to get approval for a movie version of Dokhunda.
