The authorities’ reaction was brutal and unequivocal. Over the next few months, police repeatedly used unnecessary and abusive force to prevent and disperse peaceful demonstrations." (Amnesty International)
Gezi Park activists used humor, art, music, creativity, social media and peaceful resistance to make their point.
In Turkish with English Subtitles.
Tickets $10 - At the Door.
