Ten years after Turkey’s failed coup attempt, journalist Thomas Sideris unfolds all aspects of the country’s political landscape: from mass purges in the Turkish security forces and military, the dismissal of leftist and Kurdish mayors, to the widespread arrests of journalists and political figures, including the leader of the pro-Kurdish HDP party, Selahattin Demirtaş.
Having interviewed dozens of persecuted journalists, artists, and politicians, Thomas Sideris pieces together the puzzle from the shift to a Presidential Republic to the arrest of the mayor of Istanbul. Don’t miss this revealing documentary, part of the radio documentary series “Unguarded Passage.”
