I will never! forget this Turkish movie, it still haunts me!!

Journey of Hope

Esther, you might also like to see this  critically acclaimed  Turkish drama

by Yilmaz Arslan who explores the emotional journey of two young Kurds Nurretin Celik and Erdal Celik who leave their turbulent homeland behind and relocate to Germany, only to encounter a harsher reality. Is the brotherly friendship between one of the young men and a small boy Xevat Gecgtan he takes under his wing enough to rage against the bitterness around them?

In a land where the dawn sears
We have become more doltish
And we stare at the moments of victory.
There is no starry night in our nights of
   explosions.
Our enemies stay up late, they switch on
   their
Light in the intense darkness of this tunnel.
