The movie shows the construction side of the New Istanbul Airport from a critical perspective. Documentary and staged sequences are mixed. The main issue of the video is the conflict between the Erdogan´s “mega-project” and it´s impact on nature and on the villagers living around the future airport. Since 2014 Turkey has been constructing it´s third international airport. Istanbul New Airport is going to be the world largest airport in the future. The opening is scheduled for February 2018. The current airport Atatürk Airport will be closed down once the new airport is operational. New Istanbul Airport is one of Turkey’s most controversial projects in recent times for a number of reasons. Firstly, there are problems with the area’s ground, because of its instability. Secondly, the airport’s potential environmental impact on the surrounding nature. The new airport is located in the Northern Forest Area, which is of huge importance for Istanbul’s ecological sustainability.
