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.
