Ayhan ve ben
Ayhan and me
belit sağ
The film tells the story of Ayhan Çarkın, a leading member of a death squad responsible for the murder of at least 1,000 Kurds in the 1990s. Before the film was finished, the script was censored in Turkey so belit sağ decided to make a film about the background. sağ weaves the history of censorship together with images of war and poses questions about the visibility and hierarchy of images.
