The film follows Ipek, who is part of a group of activists who fight to protect Turkish women against abuse and murder, by putting violent men behind bars. As femicides soar and Turkish society starts to fall apart, Ipek and her client’s risk everything for their freedom.
Filmed over 5 years, DYING TO DIVORCE takes viewers into the heart of Turkey's gender-based violence crisis and the recent political events that have eroded democratic freedoms.
Through intimately shot stories, the film gives a unique perspective on the struggle to be an independent woman in modern Turkey. Versions of the film will simultaneously be broadcast in Norway, Germany and France from the 8th/9th/10th March. Directed by Chloe Fairweather, produced by Sinead Kirwan.
