Belgesel sunumu
Why do neighbors fight? Why do the world’s ethnic or religious groups experience mutual hatred and suspicion? The documentary film, “The Other Town,” explores the negative feelings of a Greek town, Dimitsana, and a Turkish town, Birgi, towards the “Other.” Bitter sentiments and prejudices are widespread in both societies. Locals of all ages are caught in a web of stereotypes that impedes bilateral relationships between Turkey and Greece. Similar situations exist in many other societies around the world. “The Other Town” examines the key issues of why peace is sometimes so difficult to achieve, and why hate is constantly reproduced in public life. While visiting the two towns and talking with the inhabitants during the span of a year, the documentary’s makers come to understand that bad relations between the nations exist not so much due to the turbulent past, but due to contemporary nationalistic mentalities and education.
