Organised by the Psychology Students` Club operating under the Social and Cultural Activities Directorate in collaboration with Kuir Cyprus, Cyprus gala of the documentary entitled “My Child” took place in EMU Mustafa Afşin Ersoy Hall.
Produced by Can Candan, the documentary entitled “My Child” is about a very courageous and inspiring group of parents in Turkey, who are mothers and fathers of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual individuals. In the documentary, the parents intimately share their experiences with the viewer, as they radically redefine what it means to be parents, family and activists in this conservative, homophobic and trans-phobic society.
Following the documentary, a talk with parents whose children are lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals took place. At the end of the event EMU academic staff member Ziba Sertbay presented a plaque of appreciation to the advisor of the documentary Metehan Özkan.
