This project is a documantary about a schyzophrenia patient whose name is Sewusen. Sewusen has got popularity in Tunceli around East region of Turkey. After his death in 1994, the people in Tunceli have established his sculpture at the center of the city. Most of the schyzophrenia patients live around the people at Tunceli and the people behaves well towards them. The difference of Sewusen is that, he has lived about 40 years at the street and he had no relationship between money and goods. When he gets hungry, he eats in any restaurant and nobody demands any money from him. The people look to the situation as normal. With the effect of the religious aspect of the community, they see Sewusen as Holy but not mad.
In that project, I made a documentary which defines in general the point of view about mental disorders of the community of Tunceli but at custom it gives information about Sewusen.
As a result, this project is about cultural psychiatry and it is made against Stigma. It takes 30 minutes to present and it is English subtitled.
