Directors: Mehmet Ozveren & Uluc Esen After a concert given in Istanbul, Hrant Dink wrote his desires about fraternity of peoples by hailing Mehmed Uzun, a Kurdish writer, and he said: “Mehmed Uzun, imagine! Turkish, Kurdish and Armenian people singing in Yerevan all together. Not only their songs but each other’s songs as well. And we are dancing with our crutches”. Then a group of 68 artists from Bogazici Performing Arts Ensemble and Sayat Nova Choir got together and in December 2008 went to Armenia for the sake of friendship and to make his wishes happen. They gave two concerts in Yerevan and Vanadzor with Armenian, Turkish, Kurdish, Gypsy, Azerbaijani, Arabic songs. However, the border between Turkey and Armenia is still closed. The documentary is based on this journey, the concerts and conversations with people from different social layers in Armenia.
