From Far Away is a documentary dealing with a journey through Turkey. The director made this journey from May-June 2005. The route led through Istanbul and Ankara to the south-eastern part of the country, to Ganziantep; then further to the East on through Diyarbakir e Van to reach Dogubayazit, near the Iranian border.The film depicts scenes from this journey, offering a different view of contemporary Turkey: fringe impressions of everyday life in the western cities like Istanbul and Ankara, then onto the eastern regions which until recently were the front lines of internal conflict.
