Germany 2022, Director: Cem Kaya | Duration: 102 min. | Documentary in German with English subtitles
Around 60 years after the first arrival of workers from Turkey in Germany, director Cem Kaya lets early immigrants tell their stories - in parallel, he shows the diversity of German xenophobia by using TV footage from the time. The special approach of his film, however, is that he concentrates on the music in exile. On the one hand, this creates a sub-history of the proletarian Federal Republic, seen from the immigrants' point of view. On the other hand, Kaya examines a cultural phenomenon. With concert excerpts, interviews and great archive pictures, he documents Turkish music in Germany, its path from the former entertainment at home evenings to today's pop culture.
