9/10
Street Silence.
16 December 2009
What do two young kids do with their baby sister who cant stop crying ? What does food mean when the streets are hungry for blood ? What does it mean to change a point of view towards a better solution ?

Most of the answers and more are delicately yet firmly placed in Min DIt. Director, Producer and Writer Miraz Bezar has placed this responsibility of his message on the strong shoulders of his main leads - Senay Orak ( Gulistan ) & Muhammed Al ( Firat ). Both who deliver fiercely with soft eyes and strong character. A gritty, absorbing movie with a theme that's new to me ( the whole Kurdish/Turkish situation was briefly explained post viewing ) and all the actors performed par excellence. Simple, seamless story developments with brilliant screenplay, Min DIt tops my list at the Dubai International Film Festival.

Watching it at the DIFF 2009, the Q&A did get into a slightly political voice throwing atmosphere but was handled extremely well by the Director whom i must commend for his ability to understand both sides and choose to deal with Humanity as the subject of his movie and not who is right or wrong in the war.

Killing/Murder/Executions of fellow beings is just something we humans now close our eyes and accept. Things may change. Maybe we'll be just be more open to nonviolent solutions.

Thank you Miraz Bezar and whole crew of Min DIt for a lovely journey.

Peace.
