Synopsis

Solidarity Beyond the longest border

This film tells the compelling story of how local communities deal with the arrival of nearly four million Syrians at their doorstep. Shot in the City of Izmir, the film features the perspectives and experiences of Turkish citizens working alongside Syrians, volunteering in associations providing help to migrants or stepping in to protect the lives of Syrian children. These vibrant testimonies of solidarity and hope reveal grass-root social and political processes at work in Turkish society.
