In the 1990s many people in Kurdistan were taken into custody and interrogated under torture; their killers disposed of the bodies by throwing them out of helicopters, or burying them in acid-filled wells. Thousands were murdered/disappeared by paramilitary forces—such as Jitem and Hizbul-Kontra—that were financed and supported by the state, though they have always stuck to the line: “We didn’t do it.” The documentary looks at the case of seven people, including four children, who were disappeared from the town of Kerboran [Dargeçit] in 1995, and tells the story of their families’ tireless search for their bones
Well is a 2018 documentary that investigates the disappearance of seven people, including four children, from the Kurdish town of Kerboran in 1995. The film examines how paramilitary forces allegedly disposed of victims' bodies in acid-filled wells and by helicopter during a dark period of state-sponsored violence in Kurdistan. Through the lens of one family's decades-long search for answers, it exposes a pattern of extrajudicial killings that the Turkish state has consistently denied.
