In the 1990s many people in Kurdistan were taken into custody and interrogated under torture; their killers disposed of the bodies by throwing them out of helicopters or burying them in acid-filled wells. Thousands were murdered and disappeared by paramilitary forces such as Jitem and Hizbul-Kontra that were financed and supported by the state, though they have always stuck to the line: "We didn't do it." Bîr is a documentary that looks deeper into the case of seven people, including four children, who disappeared from the town of Kerboran [Dargeçit] in 1995, and tells the story of their families' tireless search for their remains.
