In 2021, Aylin Kuryel held online interviews with Migros warehouse workers who were fired with Code 29 for being unionized (DGD-Sen). Together, they looked at photographs from the resistance process that ended in victory. Neslihan and Hüseyin from the Migros resistance raise questions about the visual memory of standing 'side by side' through four photographs. The film is a part of Altyazı Fasikül: Free Cinema’s video series From Below.
