'I saw'), alternatively titled Before Your Eyes, is a 2009 Kurdish-language drama film directed by German-based Kurdish filmmaker Miraz Bezar, based on a story that he co-wrote with journalist and short-story writer Evrim Alataş, about street children in the eastern Turkish city of Diyarbakır.

[4][7] Some in the audience ask if children face these situations in real life,, With some exceptions, all live under such circumstances; they grow up in an atmosphere of peak violence.

In order to raise the initial budget of 80,000 euros for the film, Bezar’s mother sold her house and his uncle paid the team’s hotel expenses.

Well-known German-Turkish director Fatih Akın later joined Klaus Maeck as co-producer after he was shown a rough cut of the film.

I think that an opening is still too big of a word for what is happening," he has said, "but it's worth remembering that all the things that were taboo when we started writing and shooting the film are now beginning to be talked about.

[4][8] The lives of 10-year-old Gülistan and her brother, Fırat, are turned upside down one quiet and dark night on the Diyarbakır-Batman highway while they’re on their way home with their parents from a wedding in a nearby village.

Their father, a journalist working with a local newspaper, and their mother, who gave birth just six months ago to their baby sister, Dilovan, are murdered by paramilitary forces.

Not everyone, of course, cheered, he concludes, “Min Dît” is not the sort of story that will comfort the prejudices of a Turkish audience nor is Kurdish a language they expect to hear.

He warns, those who might find orphaned children on the streets too heavy for weekend entertainment, but recommends the film to, those interested in catching a glimpse of uncharted territory for Turkish cinema.

Make no mistake, the review continues, this is a tragic tale, but it comes out as truthful as it can and should be, despite Bezar's occasional inclination toward an idealist reductionism on political issues.
