The first screening of the documentary “Daisy Child” (Papatya Çocuk), the story of a child with albinism, prepared by TRT internal productions, took place on 14 March 2021.
So what is my connection with this documentary? I was working abroad at the end of 2019. At that time, news came that TRT wanted to add the story of a child with albinism to a documentary series. One of the wonderful children of Gülay and Murat Vural couple, whom I love very much, wanted to shoot the story of Irmak. I understood that after a long conversation with one of the directors, Müge, a self-sacrificing and careful content would be produced in a way that would be worthy of TRT. First, it was filmed with Irmak and his family in Izmir, and then a shoot was made with me in Istanbul at the beginning of 2020. Then, as we all know, the pandemic process intervened and the documentary took a long time to complete. Finally, we had the chance to watch this beautiful documentary. Irmak and his precious family are a really good example to tell about his albinism child and his family, the importance of family, and that is why I was also happy that they were chosen as the main heroes of the documentary.
I thank Müge Müftüler Baygeldi and the whole team for handling the issue of albinism in a humane, hopeful and clear way, and documenting it with devotion and love.
I hope everyone likes it
