Let There Be Light (1997) *

This Turkish film about the civil war in Kurdistan tries to whitewash both sides. If both the Turkish military and the Kurdish rebels were such saints, why on Earth would they be fighting each other in the first place ? A political film should have the courage to offend at least one side in the conflict (and preferably both). This film tries to say that War (as an abstract concept) is bad, but the people who fight it are all good. Nice try.
