Deep Dive: Well (2018)
Film Lens
The film focuses on the abduction of seven individuals, including four children, in the town of Kerboran (Dargeçit) during the 1990s. Paramilitary forces, such as Jitem and Hizbul-Kontra, allegedly supported by the Turkish state, were involved in these events. Families of the victims undertook a search for truth amidst the grim reality of bodies being disposed of in acid-filled wells or dropped from helicopters.
Despite substantial evidence indicating state complicity in these abductions, authorities have consistently denied involvement, claiming, 'We didn’t do it.' The documentary presents the harrowing experiences of the families and the ongoing struggle for justice in the face of state denial.
