Dagny S One can argue about the cinematography, but the subject makes the film a must-see! It is so hard to keep up in an educational system as a child who is not taught in his mother tongue, and especially when it is also forbidden to speak the mother tongue at school. It shows how the Turkish regime does nothing about poverty or about the poor health system in Turkish Kurdistan, but makes it the most important thing to teach them Turkish. Mother tongue education is essential and must be "the normal". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/23 Full Review Audience Member I had very bored at this film.
