2013 Documentary
1h 47min
In the mid-1990s, a Kurd named Ibrahim Gezer was living in Turkey with his family, making a good living producing honey with his 500 bee colonies. But he lost everything in the turmoil of the Turkish-Kurdish war. After living on the run for seven years, he arrived in Switzerland as a refugee. This moving documentary tracks the story of how this good man was able to rebuild his life -- with nothing more than his faith in humanity and his love of bees.
