Synopsis
Peoples' Democratic Party(HDP), which had been founded under the leadership and with initiation of the Kurdish political movement, entered the parliament with a landslide election victory. HDP won many city and district municipalities in Kurdistan and has become a great hope for communities and peoples of Turkey. After the peace process came to an end, many lawsuits were filed against HDP and its MPs within the framework of a lawsuit for closing and banning HDP. Hundreds of politicians were arrested and sent to prison, including Figen Yuksekdag, the former co-chair of HDP, Gultan Kisanak, the co-mayor of Diyarbakir Metropolitan Municipality, and Aysel Tugluk, HDP MP. Furthermore, many were forced to go abroad and started to live in exile. Aysel Tugluk got dementia while she was in prison and it was only after the protests that she was released. In this documentary, the first-degree relatives of Figen, Gultan and Aysel tell the process of going to and coming from the prison.
