MESOP NEWS PRESENTATION : THE HASANKEYF HERITAGE DOCUMENTARY / VIDEO

NORTH KURDISTAN (TURKEY)

We would like to present you a new documentary on the Ilisu Dam Project/Hasankeyf and offer to all of you to show this documentary in your town/region.
If completed the destructive Ilisu Dam would flood the 12.000 years old town Hasankeyf and a large part of the Tigris River. The director Ali Ergül shot this 20 minutes documentary in 2017 called “Water’s Date of Death” in Turkish and partly in Kurdish, but now we have a version with English subtitles. People from the affected region speak about the heritage of this region and what the planned destruction would mean for culture, ten thousands of people and nature. Ecological activists from Iraq have contributed to this documentary with shootings from the South Iraqi Marshlands.
