TURKEY'S EARTHQUAKE:
THOSE WHO STAYED
BBC Our World, a film by Sheida Kiran - 2024
Powerful earthquakes that struck in February 2023 left south-eastern Turkey facing a devastating aftermath. A year on, hundreds of thousands have left the region, and much of it still lies in ruins. Many local people have been left homeless, schools are destroyed, and crucial agricultural work is at risk. But the women who stayed are determined that their cities are rebuilt. As they confront this challenging task, their fears rise even further when construction plans pose a threat to their livelihoods. Our World follows the stories of women over the course of a year, as their roles as mothers and activists evolve in their fight to protect their home for the generations to come.
Entropies scored and recorded the soundtrack for this film, which was first broadcast on the 3rd February 2024.
