PRESS

Presstells the story, through 17 year-old Fırat, of the newspaper Özgür Gündem which tried to expose the human rights violations in Diyarbakır in the early 90s when conflicts were at their peak in Turkey. The journalists are hampered not only by technical difficulties but by “dark forces” as well. Some are abducted and threatened, others killed in the middle of the street; their office is raided by the police. As our journalists continue doing their job pressure keeps mounting.
