The subject of Sağman's award-winning film is as follows: Gulab Gul is a boy living in a remote mountain village in Afghanistan. Gulab does not have two arms from birth. Gulab, who lost his father 5 years ago, is taken care of by his uncle. But his uncle also has to go to the city for business. So, how will Gulab Gul cope with this challenging geography and his own shortcomings if his uncle leaves?
Our student Semih Sağman also achieved another success by working as a director in the six-episode documentary project "Surviving Assad" broadcast on TRT World.
