THE KURDS: A STATELESS PEOPLE
Turkish Kurdistan in the 90s. On a quiet road near Diyarbakir, the lives of ten year old Gülistan and her brother Firat are turned upside down: their father, a political journalist, and their mother are killed by state security forces before their very eyes. Having lost all other relatives during the civil war, Gülistan and Firat are forced to get by as they can.
This opera prima from Miraz Bezar, award-winner at last year’s San Sebastian Festival, looks at a time when 18,000 politically active Kurdish and Turkish citizens disappeared in Turkey’s Kurdish provinces.
