Here to Stay

Three figures sit close together on a grassy path between olive trees, facing a densely wooded hillside under a soft, fading light. Their heads are wrapped in patterned scarves, and their backs are turned to the camera.

Following devastating earthquakes in Southeast Turkey, plans are announced to evict an agricultural minority village in order to build new satellite cities. A mother-turned-activist documents her community’s final olive harvest as she fights to preserve their land and legacy for future generations.
