Witnessing Gezi

TURKEY / 'Witnessing Gezi' was created with the recordings of photojournalist Emin Özmen's witnessing of the environmentalist protest that was launched to prevent trees from being chopped in Taksim Gezi Park which turned into a resistance movement that influenced a great deal of the country. Witnessing Gezi also aims to share the humanistic side of this civil resistance movement by recording it with photojournalistic responsibility which aims to remain neutral to the events occurred.

Witnessing Gezi documentary project was also awarded by World Press Photo 2014 Multimedia contest with first prize in Long feature category http://www.worldpressphoto.org/collection/multimedia/2014/long-feature/witnessing-gezi
