Our take
Directly facing the camera, Turkish parents of LGBTQ+ individuals are not only pouring their hearts out to viewers but also addressing those still harboring prejudiced views. Beautifully lifted by unconditional familial love, this powerful call for acceptance underlines the cruciality of community.
