In Turkey, AFD, together with its partner TEB, organized the broadcasting of the film on the 5th of June in Istanbul. Turkey was therefore among the hundred or so countries to simultaneously show the movie on the World Environment Day.
The event, jointly held by TEB and AFD, gathered more than 200 guests during a private show in Fethiye’s movie theater. Representatives of Turkish authorities, members of the French protocol and international funding institutions, journalists, businessmen and entrepreneurs, members of both local and international NGOs as well as scholars were among the people invited.
