The Exile of the Rainy Country

Don't You Burn (Exile)

The film begins with Ahmet Kaya's speech at the Magazine Journalists Association (MGD) awards ceremony on February 12, 1999. It examines the events following Kaya's announcement that he would make a song in Kurdish and shoot a music video for it, which led to protests from those present in the hall and subsequently made him the target of the media.
