Entrevista
2014
A journalist interviews a general from the Process a few days after the defeat in the Falklands War. The general's speech is brutally sincere. These are the words that no Argentine military officer would say, has said, or will say. The idea is to exploit one of the feelings many people experience during the trials of repressors: it's strange that no one explicitly admits a single truth. The irony of this story is built on this sense of need to listen, with a certain moral and political awareness.Friendship

Saddam'ın Askerleri: Kara Güneş
2009
In this film, which takes a critical look at the period when Saddam Hussein, the former leader of Iraq who was brutally executed in recent years, was in power, director Gani Rüzgar Şavata's message is: "If soldiers are not robots, if they have become pawns for the supporters of imperialism, Zionism, and fascism, if they do not even recognize the thin line between life and death for people searching for their own identity, then these are Saddam's Soldiers." It is the era of Saddam Hussein in northern Iraq. Many raids are carried out on Peshmerga villages, and torture and suffering are rampant. Despite everything, an unstoppable love quietly blossoms, grows, and strives to survive.The Pity of War: The Loves and Lives of the War Poets
