Our documentary is a feature-length project that tells the musical and political journey of the ‘Kardeş Türküler Project, which started within the Boğaziçi University Folklore Club in 1993… in a way a chronicle of“togetherness”, children, women, trees, rivers, a fraternity of cultures and languages that cannot be divided by borders. Not only languages, but history, culture, poetry, writers and artists meet on the stage: Hrant Dink, Neşet Ertaş, Reem Kelani, Sezen Aksu, Arto Tunçboyacıyan, Sayat Nova choir, the list goes on… So this movie, brings forward for the first time the 30-year old story of Kardeş Türküler as they navigate and reflect with their music the political and social realities of the recent history of Turkey.
We were able to cover production and initial post-production and editing with the funds we received at the early stages of production. But we have been working almost voluntarily as a whole team for a long time. With all this effort the movie that Çayan started is about to be finished!
We are happy, sad, excited... We are in the final stages of editing. But we need support for post-production, especially for sound design, and color and graphics.. Now this long journey will be completed with solidarity and "Kardeş Türküler's Story of 30 Years" will be on the screen.
We believe in it!
