The documentary “Hate” aims at raising social and political awareness about hate crimes through presenting the harm of hate crimes on people’s lives directly via the narratives of victims. Directed by Esra Açıkgöz and Hakan Alp, the documentary handles hate crimes through the testimonies of subjects of such crimes. The documentary listens to the voice of people who have experienced the hard conditions of being the “other” in various parts of Turkey.

Just to name a few: Şafak Pavey-MP of CHP, Öykü-a trans person, Fevzi Çelik-a Kurdish worker, İhsan Özbek-Chairperson of Turkey Salvation Church, Sevim Polat-a witness of Maraş pogrom…
