Çerx

Set in the 1990s, Çerx delves into the clandestine efforts of children like Bawer and Hebûn, who work to distribute newspapers during a time when they were banned in the Diyarbakir region. Despite the legal status of these newspapers, the children face significant risks as they navigate a state of emergency designed to suppress press freedom.

The film highlights the resilience and determination of those fighting for the right to information. It captures the tension of a society where the dissemination of news is seen as a threat, emphasizing the importance of press freedom in the Kurdish context. With a runtime of just 14 minutes, Çerx is a poignant reflection on the struggles faced by those who seek to inform their community under oppressive circumstances.
