What did the Crimean Tatars go through when they returned to Crimea after decades of deportation in the late 1980s? The right to buy housing, get a residence permit (without which they are not hired), to get the land – they had to fight for it during numerous protests, experiencing constant pressure and negotiating with local officials, and to face outright discrimination. Authorities controlled by the government filled the information space with propaganda. However, pickets from Moscow to Taman and throughout Crimea, petitions, peaceful marches, self-immolation and, ultimately, the self-return of land, which the authorities called as a \u201cself-seizure\u201d \u2013 worked. But did it become easier after independence? This film is about the history of the return of an entire nation. It is a story of unity and victory against the system. However, many had to lose their homes for the second time after the Russian occupation in 2014.<\/p>\n
