HOLD STILL (DARGEÇİT), 2024

Türkiye | DCP, Color, 82’ | Turkish, Kurdish
Director: Berke Baş

The families of seven people who disappeared in the hands of state forces in the Dargeçit district of the southeastern province of Mardin in 1995 fought for their rights for years together with their lawyer Erdal Kuzu. The first hearing of the Dargeçit JİTEM Trial, which was launched as a result of the efforts of the family's lawyers and the Human Rights Association, finally took place in 2015. The documentary both criticizes the judicial system and documents the last five years of this difficult trial step by step, which has been a struggle for truth and justice in the Turkish judicial system of today.
