Heavy Handcuffs

In the years when the death penalty was still legal in Turkey, Arkın was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. Cüneyt, on the other hand, was imprisoned in the same prison for a minor injury offense. However, he frequently received solitary confinement for standing up against injustices in the prison. Arkın also visited the solitary cell from time to time. On the day Cüneyt was to be released, Arkın’s sentence was to be executed. Two days before this, the two prisoners were handcuffed together and transferred to the city center. However, Cabbar, the real perpetrator of the crime for which Arkın was sentenced to death, planned an attack on the transfer vehicle to prevent Arkın from speaking before his execution.

In This World

Torn straight from the headlines, Michael Winterbottom's compelling and prescient 'In This World' follows young Afghan Jamal and his older cousin Enayat as they embark on a hazardous overland trip from their refugee camp at Peshawar, north-west Pakistan. Entering Turkey on foot through a snowy, Kurdish-controlled pass, the pair again take their lives into their hands and face suffocation when they are locked in a freight container on a ship bound for Italy. From there they plan to travel on to Paris, the Sangatte refuge centre and ultimately asylum in London.
