Min Dît: The Children of Diyarbakır (Min Dît)
Min Dît (Turkish: Ben Gördüm, "I Saw") is a 2009 drama film and the feature debut of Berlin-based Kurdish filmmaker Miraz Bezar, who directed and wrote the screenplay based on a story he co-wrote with journalist and short-story writer Evrim Alataş. Shot in Diyarbakır, it was the first Turkish film produced in Kurdish with Turkish subtitles, co-produced by Bezar Film and Fatih Akın's company Corazón International.
The film follows two children struggling to survive on the streets of Diyarbakır after losing their parents during the conflict era. Premiering at the San Sebastián Film Festival in September 2009 and released in Turkey on April 2, 2010, it became the first Kurdish-language film to compete for the Golden Orange at Antalya and won awards at the San Sebastián, Antalya and Istanbul festivals, while also sparking debate over its screenplay during festival screenings.
