Death Without Mercy

This documentary uses cell phone videos, images from surveillance cameras, and news reports to meticulously reconstruct the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria in February 2023, focusing on two victims and their families. The collage shows how the catastrophe catapulted the population into a state of shock, while at the same time it sparked an inexhaustible will to survive. The film also takes a critical look at the Turkish government, which allowed the construction of buildings that were not earthquake-proof and had no emergency plan, as well as the failure of the UN, which hesitated to criticize Erdogan's government.
