END OF THE DOG , film secreening

This movie is about the dog genocide that happened in Istanbul during the late Ottoman Empire Era. The genocide with a missing memorial. I recall the history of the spatial modernization of the late Ottomans that was trying to bring an end to the stray dogs of Constantinople by capturing and deporting thousands of them to Oxia island. I wonder if the end of the empire and its modernization reforms brought an end to the dogs or vice versa?
