THOSE WHO TELL THE TRUTH

A protest music as old as time

Synopsis

In the back streets of Anatolia, Turkey, protest music resonates as old as time.

Through their stories, words, and sounds, musicians weave a symphony of resistance against the threatening shadow of authoritarian rule. Their saz, a long-necked lute, becomes the sharp blade of a musical-political adventure.

This film reveals the complexities, contradictions, and struggles of Turkish society today through music that symbolizes a history in constant reinvention.
