Vendetta song

Eylem Kaftan gazes from her hotel window down over the bustling streets of Istanbul. She is preparing for a 1400-kilometre journey into the heartland of her Kurdish ancestry. Armed with only a few contacts, a faded family photograph and a passionate urge to discover the truth, the Montreal filmmaker will travel deep into eastern Turkey to attempt to unravel the 30-year-old mystery of her aunt Guzide's murder. Vendetta Song is the story of her incredible voyage--a riveting account of a senseless vendetta killing, the antiquated customs that brought it about and one woman's search for connection and closure in a Kurdish culture she's never known. Working against time, political instability and facing possible retribution for her investigation, Eylem follows a series of word-of-mouth clues, venturing from village to village as she pieces together Guzide's final days and closes in on the identity of her killer. Amazingly, Vendetta Song brings Eylem face to face with one of the men she suspects is her aunt's murderer. It is 30 years later. Can the vendetta finally be laid to rest?

  • "Eylem Kaftan regarde les rues animées d'Istanbul par la fenêtre de sa chambre d'hôtel. Elle se prépare pour un voyage de 1000 kilomètres, qui la conduira au coeur du territoire de ses ancêtres kurdes. Dotée de quelques indices, d'une vieille photo de famille et d'un brûlant désir de découvrir la vérité, la cinéaste montréalaise se rendra au coeur de la Turquie pour éclaircir un mystère vieux de 30 ans, le meurtre de sa tante Guzide. Vendetta Song raconte son incroyable périple : le récit fascinant d'une femme cherchant des repères au mileu d'une culture kurde qu'elle a peu connue et d'une histoire de vendetta qui a coûté la vie à sa tante. Luttant contre le temps, l'instabilité politique et s'exposant à des représailles, Eylem poursuit son enquête et suit le fil ténu d'indices tirées de bouche à oreille, s'aventurant de village en village, recollant bout à bout les morceaux du casse-tête que constitue le meurtre de sa tante. Contre toute attente, Vendetta Song conduit Eylem à l'un des suspects pouvant avoir tué sa tante. C'était il y a 30 ans. Est-ce que la vendetta pourra enfin s'arrêter? En anglais avec sous-titres français."
