Question 3

Director Stetament

Accepted Answer

I met Nuran with a small newspaper. I decided to shoot the documentary before I met her in real. A peasant woman who succeeded in creating a change is an interesting subject for the documentary. But Nuran intimately compelling, productive and I saw there was a human being in peace with his surroundings. Anarchist spirit of this ”dairy philosopher” created a lot of social change. But still the documentary was founded on the effect of the wall paintings of her village. 
Our story is about a peasant intellectual painter beyond a classical success story. Nuran is famous with TEDX conversations, journalist interviews, film crews but also she is like city of Mecca for “urban” people which are get bored their daily life. But she is a humble person who is still growning and selling okra, tomato. 
I hope you enjoy watching this fun person.
