Northern Forests (2017)
Directed by Julia Lazarus
“North of Istanbul the formerly remote rural areas at the Black Sea are transformed by gigantic infrastructure projects.”
Documentary · 1h 22m
A new motorway ring cuts through the forests, separating pastures from farmland. The residents are presented with a fait accompli, their villages turned into city suburbs which will make all agricultural activities illegal within a time span of 5 years. The Turkish activist group Kuzey Ormanları Savunması organizes civil resistance against the destruction of the livelihoods shared by urban and rural populations alike.
