Dying to Divorce

2021 | 82 mins
An intimate look inside Turkey's gender-based violence crisis

More than one in three Turkish women have experienced domestic violence and the number of femicides continues to rise. But some are fighting back. Filmed over five years, DYING TO DIVORCE takes viewers into the heart of Turkey’s gender-based violence crisis and the recent political events that have severely eroded democratic freedoms. Through intimately shot personal stories, the film gives a unique perspective on the struggle to be an independent woman in modern Turkey.
