We explore Sarajevo, a city once celebrated as the “Jerusalem of Europe” for its multi-cultural diversity. Now full of survivors and poets, singers and creatives; stuck between the desire to break free from past terrors, along with the aim to “never-forget.” Writer, director, and academic, Tina, makes and studies films in order to process the horrors of the war she survived as a young child.

    In Bucharest we visit Tedy Necula, the first disabled filmmaker in Romania. At age 12, Tedy fell in love with movies when cast as the lead actor in the film, “Noro.” By age 16, Tedy created his own commercial production company, which he still heads, filming inspirational stories. We visit film studios, quirky museums, universities, and share in Tedy’s love of wine as we celebrate his birthday.

    In Istanbul we meet daring individuals forging a path in a country that’s beginning to restrict the rights of women. New censorship laws have passed, which further limits the freedoms for filmmakers. After surviving bombings, a coup, and the Gezi Park protests, our filmmakers choose to stay in their country to tell stories that represent their lives as Turkish women in the twenty-first century.
