Director Statement

I made this film to reveal a hidden truth around me. The poverty of the people around me. When their illness is severe, their pain doubles, one is the pain of poverty and the other is the incurable pain! Why do people go to a place where neither the law nor the medical system allows it. Are people fleeing the law or aware of the lies they have been told! The capitalist system, which has invested heavily in medicine and has a lot of influence in decision-making, does not allow what does not benefit them to reach their true identity. I did my best to expose this hidden identity lost in the medical capitalist system, although in this way to be able to throw stones until the project is completed, I became more and more convinced that this documentary is worth fighting for. And spend my life on it. But in the meantime, my problem was not only the medical system but also some people who were suffering and distrustful of anything. Like Rustam, who has made me waiting for him for two years to ask him the key question of the film, whether it is true that he escaped from death at a young age or it is a lie! And this fact is still unknown.
