Riot police move into Istanbul's Gezi Park in the spring of 2013, firing tear gas and pepper spray into a crowd that started out defending one of the last patches of green space in the city center. The film follows the demonstration as it grows from a local dispute over a planned shopping mall into a broader confrontation between citizens and the state, with handheld footage capturing clouds of gas drifting over Taksim Square, protesters retreating and regrouping, and police lines advancing block by block. Interviews with people on the ground describe why a fight over trees and a park turned into something bigger, touching on frustration with the government's development plans and its response to dissent. The camera stays close to the street level chaos rather than cutting away to studio analysis, so the noise, confusion, and physical toll of tear gas exposure come through directly. It is a compact, on-the-ground record of one of the defining protest movements in modern Turkish history.
