After it showed at Berlin and other places, the government agreed to permit it, but there was another sort of pressure, embargo, from the old system that didn't want to touch this, that didn't want to talk, discuss and show it. I was pretty surprised by the media reaction. I knew some of them would be like that, but I was expecting they would discuss it, but it didn't happen. Very few people criticized the embargo. In fact, the audience, I think, is good.
Many young people come, students, Turkish and Kurdish, who appreciate the subject.
Of course there is discussion about the issues. Yes, the Turkish republic is based on the idea of one nation. For me it's a kind of brainwashing. To concentrate on one nation for the whole country. And there are a lot of struggles in Turkey on these two issues.
