   Synopsis

  The story begins when a teacher enters a completely unknown village with an impractical and hard to pass road. He takes a few pictures with his phone about the situation of village’s children and broadcasts it online. The reflection of these photos causes a documentary maker group to move towards the village with some equipment, the group faces numerous challenges and dangers on its way.

   Statement

  Yes, if you would like to literally travel to the history or to define the word justice more or less, my suggestion is to see the film “IRAKO”. A film that will help you to understand the real pain and hardships of our people who live in this country.

Because of the location, it receives only 5 hours of sunlight per day.
