Institute History
Description
Since the 1920’s, Kurds in Turkey have resisted the official ban on speaking or writing Kurdish. Made by a Turkish and Kurdish filmmaker, the film follows a year in the life of a Turkish teacher teaching Kurdish children in eastern Turkey, revealing the reality of Turkish policy in the lives of remote Kurdish villagers with intimacy and compassion.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
