The first Istanbul screening of the PİKOLO documentary, prepared within the scope of the project, will be held on 10 December at Feriye Cinema with the participation of ILO officials and the documentary team.

 

The documentary was prepared in light of interviews conducted during the 2013 hazelnut harvest in Ordu with public and local authorities, seasonal worker families and their children, orchard owners, agricultural intermediaries, educators and local people.

 

In the documentary, directed by Bahçeşehir University Lecturer Deniz Gürgen, the causes and problems of child labor in seasonal agriculture are revealed in all their starkness, and solutions to eliminate the problem are presented.
