The Decree

About This Movie

The Decree dives deep into the harsh realities following Turkey's attempted coup, capturing the raw emotions of those affected. It's a documentary that feels almost like a diary—Yasemin and Engin's personal stories unfold against the backdrop of political upheaval, offering a haunting glimpse into their lives after being ousted from their professions. The pacing is deliberate, which allows the weight of their experiences to settle in—a contrast to the chaotic events around them. The film doesn’t shy away from the emotional turmoil, and the performances feel genuine, almost like you're witnessing real life unfold through a lens. It’s distinctive in its approach, focusing on human resilience amidst societal collapse, rather than just the political narrative.
