Our Ismail (2024)

The film tells the life and struggle of Doctor İsmail Beşikçi, who graduated from the Faculty of Political Sciences, Department of Administrative Sciences and completed his PhD in sociology at Erzurum University. He reached the conclusion “Kurds exist, there is a Kurdish problem” during his field work and spent 17 years of his life in prison at different periods because he opposed official theses based on denial.
