The Town That Drove Away (2025)
Directed by Grzegorz Piekarski, Natalia Pietsch
Documentary · 1h 10m
The historic village of Hasankeyf, a Kurdish majority settlement, is ordered to relocate after plans are made to build a dam. The stark beauty of the Anatolian landscape frames the devastated buildings, the site of a political game requiring obedience and submission. When all has disappeared, only a bitter and unsettling sense of dignity will remain.
