The Istanbul Dispatch is the story of Turkish comic book writer Ersin Karabulut and his journey from the squalid outskirts of Istanbul to the top of the satirical press amid political turmoil.

As the country slides from democracy to authoritarianism, the hero remains on guard for the values he considers his own, rejecting warnings and fears.

A deceptively light story told through the medium of drawing, the everyday life of an ordinary citizen reveals a deep political crisis, painting a portrait of a country where hostility reigns and power is seized by force of arms.

The country has changed a lot. He almost does not recognise it. Rights and freedoms have been erased here. Here, the powers of the prime minister are only growing. Here, a cartoonist who draws a political satire can go to jail for a long time."

The author answers: what does it cost to follow a dream?
