★★★★☆This regularly incendiary and horribly urgent documentary about home abuse in Turkey is the uk's Oscar submission for most beneficial overseas feature. Shot by the British movie-maker Chloe Fairweather, it's a harrowing account of socially sanctioned femicide (474 ladies had been killed, typically via companions and loved ones, in Turkey in 2019) and violence towards women that has increased below the hardline political management of President Erdogan.
The narrative focus is brave feminist legal professional Ipek Bozkurt, who champions the case of Arzu, who become left in a wheelchair after her husband blasted her arms and legs to pieces with a shotgun for inquiring for a divorce. Or Kubra, a glamorous tv journalist whose husband beat her into everlasting brain damage over an argument about their newborn daughter.
