1-Going to Kobanê - Arzu Demir

The book “From the words of those who stayed in Suruç: Going to Kobanê” is actually a part of a documentary work; A book of portraits prepared from video footage taken with the young people who survived the massacre and the families, friends and comrades of those who were murdered.
The question we have been looking for an answer to for nearly two years within the scope of this documentary work; “Why did they leave?” happened.
With what feelings and thoughts did they set out from the Black Sea, Istanbul, Izmir, Çukurova, Ankara and various Kurdish cities?
What were they thinking in terms of their own revolutionism when they responded to SGDF's call, "We defended together, we build together?"
If they had crossed the border and reached the lands of the revolution, who would they be and what would they do when they returned?
The answers to these questions are included in the portraits of each of them. Each of them has distinctive characteristics in terms of their personal stories, but the common point is the desire to realize their own revolution while witnessing a revolution.
They have another thing in common that warms your heart; Without exception, they were all laughing very well and they went to Kobanê laughing.

What did Che say: “What needs to be done is not to wish luck to the resisters; is to participate in their destiny. "It is either death or, best of all, to accompany them to victory."
Karim did this too and became “Heval Marcello” in Kobanê.
