Memory Τoo Low for Words

The film Memory too low for words, conceived and produced by Ümit Kıvanç, transforms the words of Hrant Dink into color, form, and sound, bringing to light the “errors” of the “system” that left no room for Hrant Dink and his voice. You can watch the film to discover the passion that made Hrant Dink a target, and to hear—through his own voice—his dreams for Turkey and the world during these turbulent times.
