Der Film bringt uns in die Berge von Sinjar (Shengal), der Heimat der Jesiden, die im Laufe der Geschichte mehr als 74 Massaker erlebt haben. Die meisten während der osmanischen Ära und zuletzt das abscheuliche Massaker durch den Islamischen Staat ISIS im Jahr 2014.Mit diesem Dokumentarfilm versuchen wir einerseits, die Auswirkungen von Leid, Religion und kulturellen Unterschieden zur Umgebung auf die Komposition der Liebeslieder in Shengal aufzuzeigen, und andererseits, wie die Jesiden ihr gesangliches Erbe bewahren und die Geschichten von Liebe und Leid durch die einzige Hoffnung des Überlebens, den Gesang, dokumentieren.

The Yazidi girls and women who were released after the fall of IS now live in difficult conditions in refugee camps. During their captivity with IS, they had horrific experiences that left visible and invisible scars. These scars touch on taboos in the closed Yazidi community. The women have lost their virginity and some of them have been pregnant. They are severely traumatized and some have been brainwashed by Islam. The community is wary of these scars and the women even more anxious about the impact their scars can have on their environment. They thus suffer from a double fear: fear of their own memories and fear of the reaction to them in their community.
Theater maker Hussein (55) tries to reduce the fear among women as well as in the community by making the traumas visible and open to discussion.

What brought these two teenagers, one Armenian and the other Kurdish, together in Diyarbakır was the musical instrument kaval. Zilfo moved from Ergani to Diyarbakır city center and became neighbors with Nişo, the kaval master who showed him special attention. The families bonded, and a friendship built on solidarity and support took shape. Nişo, the master, crafted a special kaval for his friend Zilfo, and Zilfo gained reputation in the region by playing his kaval on the Eastern Express trains. Nişo’s kavals and Zilfo’s kaval playing skill brought them both unique fame.
Finally, from the 1950s onwards, Armenians began to feel uneasy in Diyarbakır as well and migrated to the West. Nişo initially resisted this migration, but eventually, he had to leave Diyarbakır and go to Istanbul. After Nişo went to Istanbul, he struggled to obtain the wood materials for making kavals he used in Diyarbakır, and he lost his ability to craft kavals like before. Zilfo also aged and had to sell his kaval, which had different measurements from all the existing kavals, with deeper and wider breath intervals. Nişo passed away in Istanbul, and Zilfo, too, in Diyarbakır, around roughly the same time.Nişo’s son, İbrahim, and Zilfo’s daughter, Hatice, have led lives that are almost entirely separate from each other. Each of them narrates their own father’s story, while the kaval masters, who developed their art with Nişo’s kavals, continue to perform their awe-inspiring arts.
A unique access portrait of a group of Western women who devoted their young lives to ISIS, but who now want to be given the chance to start over back home in the West. Among them, probably the most famous British recruit Shamima Begum, who fled the country when she was 15, and Hoda Muthana from USA who allegedly incited her followers on Twitter to support the Islamic State. Universally reviled by the media, these women now tell their stories for the very first time.
EREN porträtiert eine Frau, die seit mehr als 30 Jahren für Grundrechte und Frieden in der Türkei kämpft. Als Anwältin und Menschenrechtsverteidigerin ist Eren Keskin eine der Hauptakteur*innen und Kläger*innen für Frauen-, LGBTQIA+ und Minderheiten-Rechte, gegen Folter und sexualisierte Gewalt. Ihr ausgeprägter Sinn für Gerechtigkeit scheut keine Tabus und rüttelt an den Fundamenten des türkischen Staates. Jetzt wird sie selbst zur Angeklagten, zur Staatsfeindin gemacht. In mehr als hundert Strafverfahren droht ihr eine lebenslange Haftstrafe. Wieviel Zeit ihr in Freiheit bleibt, weiß sie nicht. Jeden Moment kann sie für immer hinter Gittern verschwinden.
