Keep the Change
TURKEY/2003/Turkish/Color, B&W/Video/27min
Directors: Ceren Bayar, Dilek Iyigun, Elif Karadenizli, Ozge Kendirci, Savas Ilhan
Since causing an incident at eight years old, the director of The Spirit of 8 held fast to a feeling of guilt. At twenty-five, his camera reveals the process of freeing himself from that burden. In 2000, the Turkish authorities intervened in a hunger strike of political prisoners, causing them to suffer memory loss. Keep the Change challenges a Turkish society that has forgotten the incident.
