The Ballad of Exiles Yilmaz Guney

The documentary Ballad of Exiles Yilmaz Güney (2016) looks at Güney's last years, spent as an exile in Paris. There, he incorporated the things he had experienced when incarcerated - especially a revolt in the children's ward of the Ulucanlar prison in Ankara - in the film The Wall (1983). The penitentiary, which he compared with a social laboratory, was recreated in a former monastery not just in the material sense, but also in spirit. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
