Arzela From Amed

In present-day Amed, North Kurdistan (Diyarbakır), a Kurdish filmmaker and journalist turns her camera toward the streets, documenting an ongoing struggle for democracy. As events unfold, what she captures begins to echo her own past, drawing her back into the city’s history of conflict and resistance.Blurring the line between witness and participant, Arzela from Amed becomes both a political testimony and a deeply personal journey into memory, identity, and the cost of recording a reality still in motion.
