Nisya Isman Allovi coordinated the project process of the film which includes images from our recent history along with shootings and interviews made in different parts of Turkey. Images recorded by the photography artist Alberto Modiano have been used in the documentary decorated by the shootings on the streets. The curator of the exhibition and the writer of the book is Aymy Emel Benbasat who also has acted as the historical coordinator of the project.
