73 min., Documentary Quebec, Canada, 2018

XALKO

100 min., Documentary, Québec, Canada, 2018

This film looks at Xalko, a kurdish village in Turkey, threatened by exodus. Deserted by its men who have gone to Europe or America, Xalko still survives thanks to those who keep the fort: mothers and children who do what it takes to keep it alive. It looks at migration from those left behind.
