Far Away (2025)

Şırnak is a Kurdish city on the border of Turkey, Iraq and Syria. In 2007, drama teacher Tayfur began recording candid interviews with children aged between 8 and 14. They were once enthusiastic, honest and full of hope for a brighter future. Today, such interviews are not even possible anymore. The school has been destroyed. Women's rights are fragile. People's mental health is deteriorating and self-confidence is lost. Bigger ambitions have faded. In 2016, war erupted on the streets of Şırnak.
