This documentary
focuses on the ethnic cleansing of the Kurds in Turkey, one
of the great human rights disasters of the 20th century, and
one that receives virtually no attention. The film combines
exclusive, one-of-a-kind war zone footage with the human interest
story of an immigrant Kurdish family trying to find its way
in Santa Barbara, California. The family includes an elderly
mother, three sisters and five brothers. Two of the sisters
still live in Turkey but far from their original village,
which was destroyed by the army.

DEATH

There
are approximately 71,000 prisoners in Turkish prisons today.
Among these, more than 10,000 are political prisoners. The
Turkish Ministry of Justice has recently constructed F-type
prisons - known as isolation cell system - in three locations.
This documentary film aims to discuss and display European
policies regarding prisons. Through different interviews made
with political detainees and former prisoners in Germany,
Italy, Spain, and the USA, the film tries to show that the
European prison system and the isolation cell system all around
the world is not the ideal as propagated by the Turkish authorities.
