Muzaffarkhon Erkinov’s historical drama “The Courage of Shiroq” has moved into editing. The screenplay is by the writer Nazar Eshonkulov.

The film is set in the land of the Saka under threat of invasion and follows Shiroq, a simple horse herder. In the fight against the enemy he relies less on force of arms than on wit, will and self-sacrifice.

Shooting took place on location in the desert and the foothills, and on a green-screen stage. Cinematography is by Ravshan Mirzakamolov, production design by Qahramon Matkarimov.

The film is expected to premiere in late 2026 or early 2027.
