Wow. This is such a great and powerful film. It is a great tribute to the Turkish people who are some of the most hospitable and genuine I have ever met. This is the favourite KZbin channel of my wife and I. We were just talking about this being a BBC standard documentary film. Such a brilliant job from you both. Thank you.

[@nicktdm5703]

Totally! How do the beeb, netflix and others not have scouts looking for people like Mick. If he had sub editors he could make so much more great stuff 👍

This is 0:34 Awesome KZbin channel based on reality and true story thanks mick for this ! After the earthquake, Flooding hits Hatay! Again this not just a natural disaster !

[@mickandtrudie]

Thanks for that, the fact is I produce, edit write the script do the camerawork, sound and any research, Trudie is the star, takes all media photos, sorts all our hotel bookings, covers all media distribution and keeps me mentally sane !

possibly with editors helping I could produce more content, but at what cost to the quality of duo productions

I was in Antakya with my 4 children and my wife on the day of the earthquake. We have never forgotten that day of horror. We moved to Izmir after the earthquake and our hearts always remained in Antakya. After we left Antakya, we realized how much we loved Antakya. People need happiness and friendship. They need friends like you to forget the great pain they are experiencing. Thanks

well that just drove me to tears ,we visited turkey last month and you wouldn't have known anything like this happened . well done for creating such a moving vlogg.

This might be the best video you've made Mick. It must be very eerie to revisit some of those sites and see them destroyed. But Turkish people are very strong. Thanks for showing us the locals. When I go to Turkiye I would like to visit the area and help in some small way.

[@MeganAnimalLover]

Mick and Trudie, you are such a compassionate couple. Thank you for remembering the forgotten city. I remember seeing the devastating earthquake on TV. It was so heartbreaking. I made a humble donation. I wish the best for those who lost their loved ones, pets, and homes.

[@dannystoelzaet3318]

Best Trudie and Mick, It is incredible, astonishing, wordless, incomprehensible. It looks like an atomic bomb has been dropped in the HATAY/ANTAKYA area. Tears flow from my cheeks watching this video, it tears my heart apart, there are no words to describe such hell. More than 50,000 dead, it is indescribable, even more injured and then all those houses, apartment blocks and much more that have collapsed. I hope that the soul in the area of HATAY/ANTAKYA can return to the way it was. I wish everyone all the best ! ! !

Thanks Danny

Mick , Trudie , my wife and i were there a year before the quake and often wondered about so many of the places and people we meet whilst there for the few days ...very good to see the museum survived , an excellent museum so rich and well laid out ..the mosaic floor collection must be the best in the world and very good to see St .Peters church also survived ..we recognised the staff member who lost so many loved ones on that morning and later . The video really has to be award winning , covering every question one could have about Antakya be fore and after the quake , whilst being realistic and hopeful. We went to the monastery of Simeon Stylites the Younger near the Syrian border which was particularly rememberable , i have often thought how much more its ruins suffered particularly its pillar on that day ....We dont speak Turkish but you really were able to bring the warmth of the people out with your video .

Thankyou Mick for showing the before and after of the devastation. You are a true person of this wonderful country. I moved here after 51 years. But it's hard to fit in even though we are Turkiye born. We are very worried about war, fires, more earthquakes, etc. We are at the mercy of what the globalists want. Hawaii fires, food factory fires in the USA, 100 fires lit spontaneously in 2021 in many European countries starting in Marmaris, Mugla. These fires are not accidents.
