In Istanbul we meet daring individuals forging a path in a country that’s beginning to restrict the rights of women. New censorship laws have passed, which further limits the freedoms for filmmakers. After surviving bombings, a coup, and the Gezi Park protests, our filmmakers choose to stay in their country to tell stories that represent their lives as Turkish women in the twenty-first century.
