Even while speaking about the worst days of her life, or its after-effects, her positive outlook is not something Lisa Calan would discard.
She holds it close to her, as much as she holds her fighting spirit. When she makes a reference to the IS bomb attack on an election campaign of the People's Democratic Party in Turkey, in which she lost both her legs, it is to talk about the way it has changed her viewpoint and cinematic framework.
"Now I have got new eyes to see. Before the attack, even though I have been an empathetic person, I used to look only at the upper levels of society. Now I am mostly on a chair. I look from this level, see people's lives and I can understand them more clearly. So, the attack and its aftermath has brought a big change to my framework and how I see," says Ms. Calan.
