A look inside the premiere of Alatau — a documentary revealing how climate change is impacting water, livelihoods, and the people behind the story 🧊🎞️

Made possible with funding by the European Union.

03/12/2026

Yesterday in Almaty, Internews was proud to support the premiere of “Alatau: Following the Disappearing Glaciers” - a powerful cross‑border documentary created by journalists from and 🎞️🧊

💧 As glaciers in the Zailiysky Alatau rapidly recede, communities across face mounting water shortages, threats to livelihoods, and growing environmental uncertainty. This film gives voice to those on the front lines: glaciologists, farmers, and residents whose daily lives are already shaped by climate change.

At Internews, we believe local content in local languages is essential to telling these complex stories in ways that resonate. With the right support, local journalists and filmmakers can uncover urgent truths, challenge misinformation, and spark informed public dialogue on issues such as water security and climate resilience.

We’re grateful to all the journalists, experts, and partners who made this screening possible, and we remain committed to strengthening the media sector across Central Asia so that stories like this can be told and heard.

This work was made possible through funding by the European Union.

Internews Europe CEO Meera Selva writes in the latest Internews blog about how, despite working in increasingly chaotic information spaces, journalists and digital storytellers continue to hold power to account, strengthen communities, and ensure people have the information they need to live good lives 📲🗞️

But they cannot do it alone. If we want strong democracies, we must invest in media — wisely, urgently, and together.

By Meera Selva, Internews Europe CEO We are at a moment of both promise and peril for democracy. We have been here before, and we will no doubt be here again, but this is a moment when we need to think hard about the kind of journalism we as a global society need to ensure we get thro...
