of the year long before i was on, when humans came along that the great mass extinction began an amazing diversity of distribution of the british isles. and they are going to preserve this habitat. the aisles starts on d w. the once again is a protest by environmental activists of daisy park ended in uprisings throughout turnkey to the kid, talking turkish history. prescriptive gazing will never disappear. this is the market turning point. the government's coming, handling dissident slips away, putting them in the sides of friendship type, added one,

and increasing the under pressure. the 5 artists fighting for freedom and democracy, bodies of time. then on the, at the time there was an actor in television from 2013, from the case the protests onwards was unemployed. john, so yep, it is. mother was sentenced to 18 years in jail. the spot 18. and she's been in prison for a year without a straight. i have it in time. will it? are you tell me, it's a travesty of justice. this is cartoon is to enjoy action. which is because like i knew when they said it was, it always makes me tired. but i love my work. a symmetric so that sort of style minutes on the florida plus coming to the world as possible so that it's not

a utopian dream in china. seen in the stucco who is a filmmaker, her colleague cheat my to received an 18 year prison sentence, was one of casey pock, wasn't just about to talk, we would say to fight for our freedoms and all right. let's go back to where it all starts. it gives the palm one of the last remaining green spaces in the hearts of his temple. suppose to make way us letting me model it as an architect, i know how important public spaces are easy part for society, any degree and then we'll proceed to nick of the places of democracy and for the future as well. the model that i gave you, so what i did when i had to, as an architect, was that case thought i defended what is vital for us to see. the thing is simple to awesome. the missing from the internet. so my to architects, john,

so you have to jump into the mother. mention we're on the scene as soon as i heard about roger sanders, the boulders has rolled in a nice the very next morning. we're going to the side looking for those responsible for i'm i did they have a 10 minutes of the meeting? not until peroration. we weren't aware of the excavation had already begun that job to do you know how many centuries old trees will log on? i need to look at the mother and daughter didn't get on. they joined forces with other environmental activists pushing the demolition. and the numbers kept growing. the police used force to try to drive them away, but eventually the protest, his game via the hunt and gaze, the con, the spirit of case he was born defiant. and tim, across the

able to to play with them. yeah, i was happy and full of hope, eh, the idea that people from all walks of life and come together to fight for something was quite extraordinary. the digital must be featured in all honesty and we sort of tons of it. so that, of course, we knew that at some point, the government and the state would intervene and i'm on, you know, that it was clear to me that in any case, the spiritual revolution would leave last in crisis from college use the, the kogan or the mosquito people calls me and said something is happening here. i get, but you have to come home and those guns right now. i said having so much and to go to absolute the most common they insisted. and so we went between him and i thought it would be a demonstration like any other homes. i never expected anything like this to myself . in may 2013 toxeme square rock next to gaze the

park was a see if people minute on the on the boards reset you for a key. it's not just about dizzy cock friends, haven't you understood? move that he posted at the time limit on the algebra was the same as star up the stage and screen with millions of friends. so when he joins the gazing, protests, people paid attention. come on when he gives you the home because he was a moment in which a good sense doesn't know the world as possible on. and so i'm in a moment where people treat one another. well, the type of sits a few or if you need to do a moment in which they reveal their creativity and recognize their own power, kind of on the reality of life was assault from the free society the purchased as envisaged, adeline's as nomic and conservative course was making the country's autocratic system more repressive on became a tool of opposition for the,

the artist of the people in the control center are the ones who need freedom the most. because that's the area that's under most pressure and repressed the most of the country. if you're able to get them shut on that one. the another prominent for is musician bodies, a tiny who's things about the problems in turkey and his hopes for the future. the attorney came to same as an actor. it since the gaze of protests in 2013, he's been off with no more rows and government funded productions, his offices and productions, but also subjected to that scrutiny. the says some up to by trying to take away artistic freedom that was preventing people from learning about all kinds of social realities seem to take them as you can do. that's why society without arts, that's not a free society without the proper means. to enjoy option is

a veteran in the fight for a free society. for 40 years, he's headed the satirical magazine, limited with the rape you which of coverage. he looks back to us in the queue, where is the greatest weapon of the week? the book to do the show that it's one of the most powerful tools that can effectively disarm the strongest of opponents. but i should not allow me to do anything. i don't want to contribute to, you know, that's how i also allows for gloom is a freedom of expression and contrast. much of the turkish press has effectively been signed and in recent years, while the gazing protests were booking the country took as television showed beauty pageants and a documentary about penguins, which is why penguins became the mass cause of the protest. movements. moses, i'm calling to resolve that. they gave the protests of an incredible humor resulted from this incredible collective intelligence. so, so, i mean,

you see that on social media, under the slogans on it, there might be resolved be cut off on wishing it, and humor can help to reduce tensions between the fronts and between the resistance and the power caching within the us and thinking yeah, you need to go for them, she took zoar, know, shall i let push it may or not. you might as a way of coping with things in our country of dealing with a tough situation. maybe that's why there was such a focus on human. because at the same time we had to deal with the loss of pain bush, edmonds, get it. cancelled files with the july dines, i'm on the the terminal in the summer of 2013 by now hundreds of thousands of taking to the streets to the month. the rights and the governments resignation. the pressure on the other one is growing by the day,

the normal we were all standing close together. how digit number you notice when the police are allowed to use force. but this time it came out of nowhere. suddenly they sprayed tear. gus, everyone started running around like montague kitchen. it was on my own electric, the one that i really thought i was going to die. this situation escalated protests and violence classes with the police took place across to a key. frustrated with ad one's decade long, through millions of demonstrations rose up against his autocratic style of government and his right wing populist a k policy. the booty unit was these, the more it was extremely tensed in turkey. would it be the one wanted to implement phones and alcohol and pressure women to have at least 3 children must be cutting them if they didn't, they keep asking less pressure and women and the constant demands. i'd like both

the prime minister and the governments for come to the were all reason was behind the gaze. the contest is a park is a park easy. park wasn't just about the top. every tree will protect it, symbolized a woman being able to walk around the streets on her own nitrous and understand what all do. valko will being able to open the express dissenting opinions more or less the good lives in an a chip to associate with the font for our freedoms window for our lives to be free from interference almost together can iop looms which in the old like the tide of rage flooded the streets, bringing with it a new self confidence. we're here, we're all you demonstrates is demanded of ad one. he remained impassive a less than a sort of. but you bet that's a 9. it will mean that it has meant that all of these other ad,

the youngest of most, any of your lives. uh well, i've been busy, which is is what, it's what followed by even hush of repression. more than $5000.00 demonstrations were arrested, including john, sue and mitchell long. yep. it just starts. it goes out from the call. look, we would to try and have full ties it on us or not. they may just try and i could all them search the item, you sorta or the unity just so i was acquitted, they are good, but my mother was tried and caused on charges of leading atara organizational or non data to their own. now she was found not guilty. yeah, sure, but we were in announcing the course over the next 10 years. uh, took the chance. i'm absolutely exhausted, but i still have high. even if i must die now. does it gives you mind turning point

for turkey. it gives you the milestone that is because the government to come and let to fuel these and how it gets to be made up of 6 people were killed. and 8000 ended documents were blinded by g, a gas. the utopia of some of the 2013 came to a bit. and meanwhile, the government was looking to punish and intimidate those responsible. the turkey was divided dialogue between ad one supposes and his opponents wasn't possible and there was no good, good, good. 6 good, this is the 210, and just check for the edwin single doubt. individuals to blame for the gaze. he protests, he publicly denounced amendment ali la boris, treat all about how they was more the government suggested

labord as 2012 plain name and they're about to start the in the society ended subset mechanisms of control rehearse the uprising and amounted to a guide to a revolution, no coincidence. read the front page of the pro ad $1.00, pay the janish of fox several visits he had made to egypt will also deem suspicious for the government. sure. if i prove he had met with arab spring activists today, know how for a revolution into key to gave you the will. they said i came back to turkey to try and new people in revolution with his play 18. we started being preparing for the guys and protests for a long time under the impression. i'm sure. here's the other guy. sions put the boy in danger. he made a public statement questioning if a plague could trigger the protests of millions and made line to be upset, accusation bundle will have to go and then be able to help them. i said,

i'd like to thank you for believing the theater has so much power had good and that a revolution could be started for the stage. i get so many people in the streets of the info. let me, i'll call, can let me know as being sarcastic, as you go with it. but maybe there's a grain of truth in there too. i don't need it to be. perhaps we theater. people really underestimate ourselves. is going to be the opposite. that wasn't getting them as a joke. the kitchen floors bodies of ty, also became a government target. in the or some of the 2013, he was arrested under suspicious circumstances. he was released off to 3 days, but the career remained. charges funds and an attack on the public street. the artist was subjected to peer intimidation using the to move it on. things never really settled down off the gazing muscle. but there was never a moment that we could catch out breath. uh nope, that he has a mind giving me the social upheaval in protest events continuing to attain lylark him to be the ar, the kid even today. and one thing leads to another trick is new counter movement.

i'm just going to make the going to is that the and it's 2015. what i need to dictate to a tight examines the tools that dictates as uses an autistic reflection of the people in the country dissecting and questioning it the system of repression. the vision that the mistake we don't just want to talk about, everyone on the bottom would be too superficial and too much like propaganda them. but some of these mechanisms are an action on over the world, not just in turkey. this was a dictatorship established. what the elements on parameters are typical of dictatorships is how does it dictate to review the people of this country? they kick in somebody with us the hall calling us about the diseases successful to successful the it was sent in turkey on the grounds.

the plague kept the public odor a security video bucks on wherever we look. there's hardly any more opposition and the performing arts alone, they're not in film. the stage is nowhere from where you can reach the public. good will. there should be indeed there's no opposition. left is while it fits calling on the film that it gets you done not to. it also has to struggle for his films to reach the public. obstacles are constantly chased in his home to watch ones you see that on the morning to go. i know it has the feeling hall motion and i know she's behind boss, the friend discontinuing her work. there is state support for the arts in turkey, but the bodies avoiding funding a pro government to them to have like all of the independence to make, has cheatham is looking for other ways to finance

a work such as sponsoring little co production from abroad. obviously to the, to mid along with this last time magazine, lemon is also fighting for it survival with the ministry to attempt in 2016 ship, the country, the magazine implied added one was to blame for the bloody events. the other one was not amused. he called publicly for punishment, but with some people were mobilized. they came here to storm or offices, and then it came with weapons on the police stopped the mob in front of the building just in time. but the warning hit home and all the copies of that edition were confiscated and collected from the shops, mused and by new stand. so some of them took in and between they opened criminal files owners and all of the turkeys, provinces, districts, officer, shrinking,

running out of the stock reach to the ceiling. can you do both? some of the work work with all of them filed charges against us because of this cover of w. a climb is a fee of blankets at the country. independent thinking could land people in serious trouble all the most. and it says, thoughts were expressed aloud. opinions could be enabled as false statements, a criminal offense, but it's signed and it's an auction, how it gets to go to the issues that depends on an individual with a sense of, i'm a citizen and but the actual problem with self censorship is really down to the government's having spread so much fear that it doesn't even have to keep accepting pressure. it hits little, but i think that will allow me of a focus of just that. i don't think there is anything we wouldn't have drawn from. there was nothing we wouldn't have written about for years set up on the other side

of the, you know, but with the new young colleagues joining us now that's not in the i see this fear many because one of them is they worried that they will get into trouble that really makes me sad mushrooms with us. so the book store, setting the work of critical thinking is a few and far between oppositional directors and the office and media all being replaced to sensing arch has taken to cold. the fear of all the tre arrest is everywhere. since the gaze of protests, dissidence like mitchell law. yes, a just john's, his mother. i've been put on trial time and time again. the everyday thing. so i do, i saw a whole spectrum of emotions. it's extremely stressful. but at some point you become indifferent to like, go so much for you. so, so we're going to quote, becomes routine and locking me out of the revolutionaries of the gaze. the protest

who are repeatedly put on trial include most permanency osborne come on a businessman and patron of yachts, charged with financing the gaze, the protest, the sentence life imprisonment, 2017 saw him put behind boss. which alone, yep. it was at the scene that every single trial protesting trial arrest release free trial. a grueling cycle is. * even given for the no strangers to the idea of prison might be dialogue. but until now, we had only ever known outside has sued the stories we had heard this. that was until her mother was sentenced off to several trials. the judiciary bound to political oppression. she and 7 other activists from the case. the protests was sentenced to 18 years show trial and to show for civil society. mid july, you have to exit at the courtroom singing. i will survive. joining her behind the

boss was still naked, cheat on matches, convicted for a film about the case, the movement, a film she never made. she had travelled from abroad for the trial, trusting that the charges would not be legally tenable. now then why with these 8 people singled out shrieking, why cheatum? we don't know the answer that nobody knows. so i read the documents, thousands of pages of documents i them, and i honestly couldn't find any unifying pulling because there isn't one. there was simply no basis on which these people were selected to that time. and you know, but it was a clear attempt to undermine the power of the gaze. the movement to rewrite the narrative, gives it to cuba on me, on in caves. it wasn't popular moves and kentucky. the almost 7000000 people took to the streets, inches and the branding its criminal scheme of an organized movement alliance that makes it easier to intimidate people, get on ultimately make them back down behind boss to

don martez fence less is to have friend seen them. stucco hulu, with instructions for her films. she for one refuses to be silenced. to down the center, the thing was met with shock and dismay in the film willed come venice. and for letting help solidarity riley's the she down to be we made sure that cheetham, he is about this wave of some of the da, she even in prison. she's really glad about the support from the film world. she told us, it's like watching your funeral while you're still alive. see the field assimilated a whole sentence with also a way to limit all the algebra where he to return to turkey. he lives in exile in the u. k. b to give you the wrong side of them took my left turkey in september 2013 that i need partially because i was afraid for my last day that you'll do things up was not to them founded fear. she was also another reason to do that was

simply no more scope for me, professionally and turkey and gotten no more scope for creativity. no more air to breathe. so we left my whole color because one of the only drawing me see, countess turkish auto. so now living in exile much to the detriment of the countries austin culture. laura is trying to start a fresh impression, but it's how to go back to square one and his career in the minutes is put to is just the, i mean, 1st stuff i have to learn to talk to the phone language edition that i speak english. but i don't relate to the words, it will say what you, what am i sent for used english to express myself emotionally. the sort of like when you suffer loss, you can, the relative of yours does it is. so when you say i love you 0, so when you are angry, livingston's it gives us good. i'm is it gives us an 11 member since his friends regained his 1st thing. and recently even started the bbc television series. and he's an outspoken supporter of refugees.

you may be a research, i'm very see, you may be anywhere in the world just because of the price. he turns off time sickness with his project as temple elsewhere as pop up gatherings. attendees discuss what it means to come from a standalone degree post defense world wide. first in person and online. the support group keeps the turkey he loves lives here. yeah. it's done with other seats available to it. yeah, it's a body's time has taken a more direct approach he has left acting behind to challenge added one directly through politics or do you think we agree that's, that's a political figure within the art community. i should start taking on more responsibility and politics itself is that on the top of the gulf and the images of

them in 2018, he re founded the work his policy of turkey advocating for minorities and denouncing the governments. disaster response all to the quick especially for the younger generation bodies of ty is a beacon of hope for look that although we are all different to for we find common ground in particular, they are not homogenous, but we take action together the tree. i think, i think that's what the government is most afraid of, and then taking the shape we to tie really of his on stage these days, his recent charity concert in cologne was an exception to raise money for a quick victims while making a political stand. he no longer has time for theatre. this moment might just wonder why regret it say that some of them know that don't go to the residence in the field are to sampling. if, if it's not even though aren't you, it's such a powerful tool position. how much to that? but what is the punk itself?

the shopping will was never built. most of the trees still stand bus, it gets quoted and off at every opportunity to make sure the spirits of gaze never returns to the civilian population was. am bolden by the movement that gives the pop protests left and lasting legacy. the
