Synopsis

On March 16, 1978, a bomb attack resulted in the deaths of seven left-wing students and injured 41 others in front of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Istanbul University. Those responsible for the massacre remained unpunished.

Our take

Casting a solemn gaze on a day marred by profound tragedy, this documentary navigates the complex aftermath of injustice with incisive clarity. Enis Rıza and Ebru Şeremetli artfully intertwine collective memory, weaving a narrative of resilience and healing in the face of a nation’s untended wounds.
