3
00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:24,020
I do dream once in a while
4
00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:27,060
that NASA calls me up and says,
5
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:32,340
"Mr. Topçu, we want to hear you
play your saz on the moon."
6
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:43,420
Now I've got it.
7
00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:46,660
Up there,
probably in an astronaut suit
8
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:50,660
with a cable going out of the spaceship,
9
00:01:51,540 --> 00:01:53,740
floating in the air.
10
00:01:54,020 --> 00:01:57,460
I'm attached though,
or else I'd fly away.
11
00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:30,620
Can you imagine
if I played on the moon
12
00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:35,900
and looked down to Earth
while I was playing, and recorded it?
13
00:02:36,740 --> 00:02:39,340
What would I play at that moment?
14
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:43,940
Which sound,
which melody could I play?
15
00:03:39,380 --> 00:03:43,020
Those are all different labels,
Türküola and Minareci.
16
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:47,740
All those songs are about foreign Germany.
17
00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:50,700
They're all very old and, like I said,
18
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:54,740
these cassettes
were all made in Germany.
19
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:58,300
All of them in Germany,
and here it says Deutschmarks.
20
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:01,660
As you can see here,
12 Deutschmarks.
21
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:03,700
Deutschmarks at the time.
22
00:04:03,940 --> 00:04:08,860
And Made in Germany, Türküola,
all of it was produced in Germany.
23
00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:14,660
And here it says 10 Deutschmarks,
even cheaper!
24
00:04:15,220 --> 00:04:18,660
For example,
the European editions of old labels
25
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:22,860
such as Minareci, Türküola or Uzelli.
26
00:04:23,380 --> 00:04:28,220
They are numbered, all of them,
and worth a lot these days.
27
00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:34,220
We were very happy together.
28
00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:38,060
Why have we been separated?
29
00:04:38,860 --> 00:04:41,900
The cruel train to a foreign land
30
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:45,460
has torn you from me...
31
00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:59,180
It's an effort.
32
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:01,780
What do you say?
33
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:05,900
I have no more patience.
34
00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:11,180
Bring me a message from my lover,
35
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:14,700
ease the pain inside of me,
36
00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:18,780
train into the unknown...
37
00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:27,340
Our parents suffered a lot as foreigners,
the first generation.
38
00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:32,380
We owe it to them that we can be
here today. They took on every burden.
39
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:47,340
I'm going to take off to Germany.
40
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:50,220
- Next week I will know.
- Don't be stupid, stay here.
41
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:53,780
- In two years, you can afford a car.
- Maraşlı sold his for 40,000.
42
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:03,340
Taxi to Germany!
Munich, Cologne, Essen, Hamburg!
43
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:06,180
Will set off immediately!
Taxi to Germany!
44
00:06:06,420 --> 00:06:08,900
Taxi to Germany!
Munich, Cologne, Essen, Hamburg!
45
00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:11,380
Taxi to Belgium and to Holland!
46
00:06:11,620 --> 00:06:14,060
Taxi to Europe right away!
47
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:19,300
Taxi to Germany! Munich, Cologne,
Essen, Hamburg, Belgium and Holland!
48
00:06:25,340 --> 00:06:29,900
German-Turkish dictionaries, gentlemen!
49
00:06:30,980 --> 00:06:34,860
German-Turkish dictionaries!
Plastic covers for your passports!
50
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:38,460
Flags and banners for your ID cards!
51
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:44,220
Ayşe Çekir, İklime Şen
52
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:07,500
You have to take a wee.
The nurse will watch.
53
00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:10,900
And they take your blood,
54
00:07:13,460 --> 00:07:15,980
your weight and measure you.
55
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:18,980
51 kilos, 1.60 metres.
56
00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:25,940
To see whether everything's working,
all the bones, all of them!
57
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:28,580
Once again!
58
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:32,220
This is now the second stage
59
00:07:32,220 --> 00:07:35,780
of the German doctors' evaluation
of these bodies they are hiring.
60
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:38,420
They have survived the x-rays.
61
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:41,100
The Germans are not looking
for Olympic athletes.
62
00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:44,780
They are seeking durable factory fodder.
63
00:07:48,620 --> 00:07:51,540
An end to the stream of guest workers
is not in sight.
64
00:07:51,780 --> 00:07:54,620
Two million foreigners,
of whom about 600,000 are women,
65
00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:57,140
are already working
for the West German industry.
66
00:07:57,460 --> 00:08:00,020
Currently, the Federal
Labour Office is concluding
67
00:08:00,060 --> 00:08:02,660
employment contracts
in the following countries:
68
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:07,220
Portugal, Spain, Italy,
Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey.
69
00:08:07,460 --> 00:08:11,660
Cologne. Monday, 19:28: Turks.
70
00:08:12,220 --> 00:08:14,580
Tuesday, 9:03: Greeks.
71
00:08:15,140 --> 00:08:18,220
Tuesday, 18:25: Yugoslavs.
72
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:21,980
Wednesday, 15:46: Italians.
73
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:25,900
Thursday, 5:44: Yugoslavs.
74
00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:32,620
I am a foreigner.
75
00:08:39,540 --> 00:08:41,220
You're not from here?
76
00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:43,740
No, I'm a stranger here.
77
00:08:44,660 --> 00:08:46,500
I'm a foreigner.
78
00:09:00,260 --> 00:09:03,980
In Turkey, I heard a lot of good things
about Germany.
79
00:09:04,620 --> 00:09:08,380
You can get beef there in abundance,
so they say.
80
00:09:08,820 --> 00:09:12,300
Every week they would bring
the workers they need.
81
00:09:12,540 --> 00:09:15,740
Soon you'll be doing well,
my fellow countryman.
82
00:09:16,060 --> 00:09:18,660
Germany, Germany,
83
00:09:18,940 --> 00:09:21,580
you will not find workers like the Turks.
84
00:09:21,860 --> 00:09:23,780
Germany, Germany,
85
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:28,260
you will not find anyone
more compliant than us...
86
00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:30,740
We wish you a safe journey
87
00:09:31,060 --> 00:09:34,420
and a successful
professional life in Germany.
88
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:38,780
In Sirkeci, they handed me a contract.
89
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:42,860
In Germany you will work, they said.
90
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:47,180
A parcel and a transport ticket.
And off you go.
91
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,700
We got our first meal in Munich.
92
00:09:50,180 --> 00:09:52,660
Germany, Germany,
93
00:09:53,140 --> 00:09:54,740
you won't find any blondes.
94
00:09:55,140 --> 00:09:59,300
They hung up a poster
in the home for workers.
95
00:09:59,660 --> 00:10:03,260
They looked for people
who could play an instrument and sing.
96
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:07,660
We would enjoy ourselves,
talk, and get to know each other.
97
00:10:08,380 --> 00:10:12,660
"It's six o'clock,
we have arrived in Cologne", they said.
98
00:10:13,180 --> 00:10:15,980
We were allocated to dormitories
in groups of six.
99
00:10:17,140 --> 00:10:20,500
Instead of feathers,
they gave me a straw mattress.
100
00:10:20,860 --> 00:10:23,500
"Bathroom and toilet are in the factory",
they said.
101
00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:26,420
Germany, Germany,
102
00:10:26,780 --> 00:10:29,340
you can't mess with us.
103
00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:33,900
The boy next to me said,
grab your saz and let's go.
104
00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:35,660
Because I only played for myself.
105
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:38,060
He took me there.
106
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:42,300
Over two thousand people in the audience.
Cologne's entire workforce came.
107
00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:44,060
Huge applause!
108
00:10:44,940 --> 00:10:47,140
The whole room was up on its feet.
109
00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:49,780
I wasn't even prepared.
110
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:54,820
I said, look, my friends,
all of us are new here.
111
00:10:55,460 --> 00:10:58,140
We work under harsh conditions.
112
00:10:58,540 --> 00:11:02,380
We feel miserable.
And you expect me to play cheerful songs?
113
00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:07,060
Let me sing an elegy to Germany.
114
00:11:07,340 --> 00:11:12,540
A song about how we came to Germany
and what we went through.
115
00:11:13,420 --> 00:11:18,220
Welcome brother,
to our home in Cologne.
116
00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:22,420
The "German Epic" was sold,
without exaggeration, three million times.
117
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:27,780
By 1978, I had released 82 singles.
118
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:33,100
What's new from
the living and the dead?
119
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:36,980
We were treated badly. The worst thing
is when you can't speak a language.
120
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:39,860
They swear at you and you say "yes",
121
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:43,820
They insult you, you say "yes".
We only knew one word, and that was "yes".
122
00:11:44,180 --> 00:11:48,500
Our old father sends you greetings.
123
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:53,340
Send a bit of pocket money.
He's short of money.
124
00:11:54,020 --> 00:11:58,100
No support when you live in exile.
For us it's hard too.
125
00:11:58,340 --> 00:12:04,220
I guess it's an economic crisis.
How can we bail ourselves out?
126
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:10,900
Fate has taken another turn.
127
00:12:11,340 --> 00:12:15,860
There are too many differences
between home and here.
128
00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:21,140
This month I couldn't send
the thousand five hundred German marks.
129
00:12:21,380 --> 00:12:26,380
How are the uncles and my wife?
130
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:33,980
In Turkey, they said that
Germany was a good country.
131
00:12:34,020 --> 00:12:35,580
Friends with us Turkish people.
132
00:12:35,620 --> 00:12:41,020
You will earn good money.
So we came, and were bitterly disappointed.
133
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:46,820
What occurred here
became my inspiration.
134
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:49,980
Good morning, Mayistero...
135
00:12:52,580 --> 00:12:54,220
The constraints of the assembly line,
136
00:12:54,580 --> 00:12:57,100
the confrontation
with an entirely different environment,
137
00:12:57,740 --> 00:13:00,980
brought on a wide range of protest songs.
138
00:13:03,380 --> 00:13:06,660
For the Turks, without whom our economy
would be inconceivable today,
139
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:08,900
it's not only their fingers that ache.
140
00:13:11,740 --> 00:13:16,580
With a lute in my hand,
I addressed all the worries and wishes.
141
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:20,460
I expressed
what workers here were not able to say.
142
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:23,660
I played and sang
about their concerns.
143
00:13:24,020 --> 00:13:25,980
Good morning, Mayistero.
144
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:28,340
I will not work for low wages.
145
00:13:28,580 --> 00:13:30,140
I broken, poet broken.
146
00:13:30,380 --> 00:13:31,860
Understand, you gherkin?
147
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:33,540
Half German, half Turkish.
148
00:13:33,780 --> 00:13:37,620
Even the Germans understood it. Although
I sang in Turkish, they understood.
149
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,700
What are you doing here?
You're meant to slave away like a pig!
150
00:13:41,940 --> 00:13:44,580
And if you can't deal with it,
go back home!
151
00:13:44,820 --> 00:13:48,860
Get your papers.
Oh yeah? Listen to this.
152
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:51,540
I came for the adventure.
153
00:13:51,980 --> 00:13:53,740
Money means nothing to me.
154
00:13:54,580 --> 00:13:57,060
I came for the adventure.
155
00:13:57,340 --> 00:13:59,500
Money means nothing to me.
156
00:13:59,980 --> 00:14:02,340
You uncouth German,
157
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:05,660
not even your wife will listen to you...
158
00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:33,580
Saturday evening
in a Turkish pub for guest workers.
159
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:36,420
What can foreigners
do during their spare time?
160
00:14:37,180 --> 00:14:39,940
They have language problems.
161
00:14:40,180 --> 00:14:43,540
Making a phone call,
getting on the right tram,
162
00:14:43,780 --> 00:14:45,700
already pose a problem.
163
00:14:45,980 --> 00:14:47,980
They hardly have any German friends.
164
00:14:48,260 --> 00:14:53,140
Every third German thinks
guest workers are a "necessary evil".
165
00:14:53,460 --> 00:14:56,660
Every seventh German
thinks they're stupid and crude.
166
00:14:57,180 --> 00:15:02,460
And every sixth German explicitly wants
nothing to do with guest workers.
167
00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:07,340
Saturday morning, just before eleven
o'clock. A dull period for guest workers.
168
00:15:07,580 --> 00:15:09,180
Boredom starts to spread.
169
00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:12,380
Turks, Italians, Yugoslavs,
Greeks and Spaniards
170
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:15,540
have a nagging problem in common,
their spare time.
171
00:15:15,860 --> 00:15:18,820
At exactly eleven o'clock,
the brothel in Stuttgart opens.
172
00:15:19,060 --> 00:15:21,820
At eleven o'clock, love services
are offered in exchange for cash,
173
00:15:22,060 --> 00:15:23,660
also for guest workers.
174
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:25,620
Stuttgart is a liberal area.
175
00:15:25,860 --> 00:15:29,780
It's not everywhere that people
will mix with foreigners.
176
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:34,100
When I first came to Germany,
I went to the forest and cried.
177
00:15:34,380 --> 00:15:37,460
I couldn't find work.
Later, I made a friend.
178
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:43,580
We went to the station together,
to the pub, to drink a beer.
179
00:15:43,820 --> 00:15:47,180
Lots of people bought us beer.
We continued drinking.
180
00:15:47,420 --> 00:15:49,660
Later on, I went to the bathroom.
181
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:53,060
When I got back,
I couldn't see my friend anywhere.
182
00:15:53,340 --> 00:15:56,620
So I asked.
Everybody said, he went home.
183
00:15:56,860 --> 00:16:01,900
I tried to understand. I went home
and saw how beat up my colleague looked.
184
00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:07,780
Everything full of blood - his face,
his eye, and three teeth were broken.
185
00:16:08,060 --> 00:16:10,980
He was in hospital for 28 days.
186
00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:15,780
Since then,
I've never gone back to the station.
187
00:16:19,580 --> 00:16:22,580
And thus they stand around
on Kaiserstrasse,
188
00:16:22,820 --> 00:16:28,940
leaving their marks on this catwalk of sin
once the rush hour is over.
189
00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:32,620
And this continues
into the late hours of the evening.
190
00:16:32,860 --> 00:16:35,980
And on weekends, they wait
for their cousin from Heidelberg,
191
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:39,980
their friend from Wiesbaden,
or for any old nobody,
192
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:42,980
banished from the barren
station concourse,
193
00:16:43,260 --> 00:16:46,380
these waiting rooms of homesickness.
194
00:16:56,020 --> 00:16:58,540
Hey Turk, do you have hashish?
195
00:16:59,380 --> 00:17:01,780
Hey, wait a minute.
196
00:17:04,180 --> 00:17:09,380
Loneliness comes over me...
197
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:21,540
I sit at the station,
198
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:26,060
trains come and go.
199
00:17:27,980 --> 00:17:32,940
I count the trains, incessantly...
200
00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:44,820
As if they were coming
from Kars, Van
201
00:17:45,580 --> 00:17:48,460
or Istanbul.
202
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:56,220
My heart belongs to you, my love,
203
00:17:57,260 --> 00:17:59,540
my love Rosemarie.
204
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:05,340
I burn with desire,
205
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:08,820
and long for my home country.
206
00:18:09,140 --> 00:18:12,540
Germany feels too tight.
207
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:17,820
Your hair so blonde,
208
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:23,380
your eyes so blue, Rosemarie.
209
00:18:26,540 --> 00:18:31,220
These German provinces,
its workers toil away.
210
00:18:32,860 --> 00:18:36,180
They toil
while their hearts are loving...
211
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:43,740
Many songs have been written
about the unknown.
212
00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:49,060
Many people had to part
from their loved ones.
213
00:18:58,740 --> 00:19:02,460
I cannot be separated.
I cannot bear the longing.
214
00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:06,180
I'm not the first one to leave.
Others, too, have separated.
215
00:19:06,420 --> 00:19:08,980
It's only for three months.
Four or five at the most.
216
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:30,340
I was separated
from my home and country.
217
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:36,580
I have no money,
no riches in my hands.
218
00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:42,740
The language of the poor is unknown.
219
00:19:44,180 --> 00:19:48,340
Poverty, you have forced me
to come to Germany...
220
00:19:48,660 --> 00:19:51,980
When I came to Germany as a worker,
we all listened to Yüksel Özkasap.
221
00:19:52,940 --> 00:19:55,580
She had two or three big hits.
222
00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:57,580
What were they called again?
223
00:19:57,900 --> 00:19:59,580
I don't remember.
224
00:19:59,820 --> 00:20:02,620
They were beautiful and sold well.
225
00:20:02,980 --> 00:20:08,700
All migrant workers Europe-wide
listened to her songs.
226
00:20:09,180 --> 00:20:11,940
They were constantly played
on the Turkish radio.
227
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:15,420
"The nightingale of Cologne",
Yüksel Özkasap.
228
00:20:16,180 --> 00:20:18,700
I thank all my listeners.
229
00:20:19,580 --> 00:20:23,340
Almost every household
played my songs.
230
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:26,820
For their sake,
I became Yüksel Özkasap.
231
00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:31,340
To all my friends far away,
respect and love.
232
00:20:39,580 --> 00:20:44,860
All expatriates felt
more or less the same.
233
00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:46,780
And I was right in the middle.
234
00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:51,100
Everyone had left someone behind,
like their own child.
235
00:20:51,380 --> 00:20:55,860
They had left their parents,
the village, their home country.
236
00:20:56,420 --> 00:21:01,340
On my albums,
I sing about my own desires,
237
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:06,180
but also of other people's desires.
238
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:09,060
We were brought together by fate.
239
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:22,580
I became the voice
of the expatriates here.
240
00:21:30,020 --> 00:21:33,220
We had opened up a big store
on Hansaring 147.
241
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:39,220
That's where it all began,
with the labels Türkofon and Türküola.
242
00:21:40,540 --> 00:21:42,100
I was born there.
243
00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:48,260
You wouldn't believe it, but there were
people actually queuing outside.
244
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:53,140
They queued up
when I signed the albums.
245
00:21:53,540 --> 00:21:55,500
They bought all of them, all at once.
246
00:21:55,740 --> 00:22:00,420
I am the first artist
who became famous in villages in Turkey.
247
00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:03,420
How did that happen?
When they went on holiday,
248
00:22:03,660 --> 00:22:05,900
they brought all my records
to their hometowns,
249
00:22:06,140 --> 00:22:09,460
and record players by Aiwa.
We sold a lot of those.
250
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:13,860
Then those records remained there.
251
00:22:14,380 --> 00:22:16,740
When they came back,
they would buy them again.
252
00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:23,540
Attention, we're recording.
253
00:22:23,860 --> 00:22:26,900
Press the button,
they can't hear you.
254
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:29,060
Attention, we're recording.
255
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:39,500
To the farm labourer -
256
00:22:40,020 --> 00:22:43,300
it rained in Burgaz.
257
00:22:44,220 --> 00:22:47,780
These girls from Germany,
258
00:22:48,020 --> 00:22:51,300
you can have them
for half a bottle of lemonade.
259
00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:55,060
These girls from Germany,
260
00:22:55,380 --> 00:22:58,660
for half a bottle of lemonade.
261
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:02,780
Fill up, my copper cup...
262
00:23:07,660 --> 00:23:10,780
I recorded 315 singles.
263
00:23:11,180 --> 00:23:13,820
Later, I recorded 48 cassettes.
264
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:16,740
There are few artists
who sold an album 700,000 times.
265
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:21,260
I'm one of them. Şükran Ay sold a million.
The record where you can hear her cry.
266
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:29,500
The nightingale of
Cologne, Yüksel Özkasap.
267
00:23:29,740 --> 00:23:31,980
In 1979, at the film festival in Cannes,
268
00:23:32,260 --> 00:23:35,500
she received two gold records
for full-length albums sold.
269
00:23:35,740 --> 00:23:39,220
For singles, she
received nine gold records.
270
00:23:39,540 --> 00:23:41,700
For sales in Germany.
271
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:47,980
Gradually, we opened new branch stores.
272
00:23:48,220 --> 00:23:53,420
We had thirteen stores, three of which
were in the Netherlands, three in Berlin.
273
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:57,260
Later on, we stuck to producing records.
274
00:24:00,260 --> 00:24:02,220
COLOGNE
275
00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:05,860
The Türküola company has its head office
on the Hansaring in Cologne.
276
00:24:06,180 --> 00:24:09,820
They're the number one producer
of Turkish music in West Germany
277
00:24:10,460 --> 00:24:13,940
and their catalogue features
all the Turkish stars.
278
00:24:14,380 --> 00:24:17,820
Cassette sales make up
two-thirds of the business.
279
00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:24,300
We have been producing music since 1968.
280
00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:27,220
One could say that approximately
281
00:24:27,460 --> 00:24:30,700
one million cassettes are sold per year
282
00:24:31,300 --> 00:24:34,380
to Turkish people in Germany
283
00:24:34,820 --> 00:24:38,300
as well as in neighbouring countries.
284
00:24:40,740 --> 00:24:43,660
This is spread over about
285
00:24:44,780 --> 00:24:46,580
500 - 600 artists.
286
00:24:47,140 --> 00:24:49,460
All pop artists were under our contract.
287
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:53,380
We turned them into stars.
Because we did a lot of promoting.
288
00:24:53,780 --> 00:24:57,500
In the big daily newspapers,
there were huge ads.
289
00:24:57,740 --> 00:25:03,380
That's where the customers saw new
releases and then came into the store.
290
00:25:03,740 --> 00:25:06,180
Albums released by Turkish labels
291
00:25:06,220 --> 00:25:09,540
are not sold via the
official distribution channels.
292
00:25:09,820 --> 00:25:15,620
They're sold at Turkish food markets
or via import/export businesses.
293
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:18,980
They do not appeal to the Germans.
294
00:25:19,220 --> 00:25:23,580
At the time,
Germans didn't shop in Turkish stores.
295
00:25:23,860 --> 00:25:25,900
They wouldn't know
records were sold there.
296
00:25:26,140 --> 00:25:29,180
When Ibrahim Tatlıses released an album,
297
00:25:29,460 --> 00:25:35,260
the whole neighbourhood would come.
On a day like that, I couldn't take a break.
298
00:25:36,020 --> 00:25:39,260
"Auntie, one cassette by Ibo."
"I want three, for my friends as well."
299
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:42,060
That would continue for two weeks.
I would only sell Ibo's tapes.
300
00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:47,180
And I was filled with pride.
Because I really like his music.
301
00:25:47,420 --> 00:25:49,500
I listen to him nonstop.
302
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:52,300
Even today,
I still enjoy listening to him.
303
00:25:52,660 --> 00:25:58,700
Every single song of his
takes me somewhere.
304
00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:07,460
Banish your homesickness
with cassettes by Uzelli.
305
00:26:08,060 --> 00:26:10,660
Whether video or audio,
306
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:13,620
please enjoy, dear audience...
307
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:18,420
They're number-one quality,
these cassettes by... Uzelli.
308
00:26:21,740 --> 00:26:27,060
I hurried to see you,
309
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:31,980
to live a life
to my heart's content,
310
00:26:32,460 --> 00:26:36,660
to live according to my desires.
311
00:26:37,180 --> 00:26:41,060
Germany,
you took my love away from me.
312
00:26:41,620 --> 00:26:46,180
Believe me, Germany,
everything about you is a lie.
313
00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:50,940
Germany, you stole my lifetime.
314
00:26:51,340 --> 00:26:55,420
You took my love away from me.
315
00:26:55,940 --> 00:26:59,580
I am so sick of you,
316
00:26:59,940 --> 00:27:03,860
Germany, you big lie.
317
00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:07,620
Sensational.
318
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:11,060
- Thank you!
- You're welcome.
319
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:27,220
Hello, hey you!
Can you release me?
320
00:27:27,620 --> 00:27:29,500
I not understand. Guest worker!
321
00:27:32,980 --> 00:27:36,500
It takes a Greek
all healthy and neat,
322
00:27:36,740 --> 00:27:40,220
to empty the waste bins
and sweep off the street.
323
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:44,100
And it takes a Turk
from Constantinople,
324
00:27:44,540 --> 00:27:47,820
or else we would have
no VW and no Opel.
325
00:27:48,180 --> 00:27:51,580
We need guest workers
so we can progress -
326
00:27:52,300 --> 00:27:55,020
so busy, hard-working and good.
327
00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:59,420
Oh yes, we need guest workers
so we can progress -
328
00:27:59,940 --> 00:28:03,540
- or the economy would soon be kaput.
- Break!
329
00:28:06,020 --> 00:28:09,180
It takes
the playboys from Milan and Rome
330
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:12,940
to fix up the water
and gas in your home.
331
00:28:13,180 --> 00:28:16,860
The waitress in Germany
can only speak Spanish.
332
00:28:17,220 --> 00:28:20,500
The postman says hello
in Muhammedan.
333
00:28:20,860 --> 00:28:24,540
We need guest workers
so we can progress -
334
00:28:24,980 --> 00:28:27,820
so busy, hard-working and good.
335
00:28:28,660 --> 00:28:32,220
One more mark! One more mark!
336
00:28:32,860 --> 00:28:36,860
One more mark! One more mark!
337
00:29:23,660 --> 00:29:27,540
I wrote a poem
that describes my life in Germany.
338
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:31,020
I'm Halis.
I crawled like a worm at work.
339
00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:34,740
But I never completed a job,
nor did I achieve a goal.
340
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:37,980
Instead of flesh and bones,
only sawdust is left in me.
341
00:29:38,220 --> 00:29:39,540
I am sick of you, Germany.
342
00:29:42,340 --> 00:29:46,340
We came to Germany,
and this is where our youth ended.
343
00:29:46,660 --> 00:29:49,340
Now we're slaves of machines.
344
00:29:49,740 --> 00:29:53,940
I once saw an American film
about a slave named Kunta Kinte.
345
00:29:54,340 --> 00:29:56,980
Our situation here
is just like that of Kunta Kinte.
346
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:18,660
Guest workers kept pouring in
347
00:30:19,020 --> 00:30:22,860
as tourists, as fugitives,
my fellow countrymen!
348
00:30:23,380 --> 00:30:25,420
For 18 years already
349
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:27,540
they've been working here,
350
00:30:27,780 --> 00:30:32,260
my fellow countrymen
lead dull lives...
351
00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:36,580
Friend, friend, friend, friend, friend...
352
00:30:44,220 --> 00:30:45,540
If I were German,
353
00:30:45,780 --> 00:30:48,820
I would be earning at least as much
as a foreman.
354
00:30:49,060 --> 00:30:50,460
Just because I'm a Turk,
355
00:30:50,700 --> 00:30:55,420
I have to work like an animal
and I receive the least wages.
356
00:30:59,580 --> 00:31:04,300
If I became ill, a letter of dismissal
would be sent to me straight away.
357
00:31:04,660 --> 00:31:07,500
What do I do now, sick as I am?
Back to work.
358
00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:10,940
Holding one side because of the pain,
with the other side bandaged,
359
00:31:11,180 --> 00:31:13,100
I'm off to work with a hernia.
360
00:31:13,460 --> 00:31:16,620
They no longer want to put up
with intolerable working conditions
361
00:31:16,860 --> 00:31:20,100
or the disadvantages
compared with their German colleagues.
362
00:31:20,340 --> 00:31:23,660
One mark more for all!
Slow down the pace at the conveyor belt!
363
00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:26,060
More vacation! No layoffs!
364
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:29,660
Those are the demands
during the strike at Ford in 1973.
365
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:34,540
The strikes at Ford began
due to the dismissals of 300 Turks
366
00:31:34,780 --> 00:31:39,460
who had returned late from their holidays
because of their long travel routes.
367
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:41,260
16 days are not enough.
368
00:31:41,620 --> 00:31:45,860
Who should you go see,
your mother or father or relatives,
369
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:49,020
or your children or your wife?
370
00:31:49,340 --> 00:31:52,460
We're looking for some humanity.
371
00:31:52,820 --> 00:31:56,220
My child was 5 when I came here,
now they turned 12.
372
00:31:56,700 --> 00:31:59,660
My child doesn't know me,
I hardly know my child.
373
00:32:00,140 --> 00:32:03,500
What is remarkable about the strikes
at Ford and at other companies is
374
00:32:03,740 --> 00:32:07,420
that for the first time,
foreign workers play an active role.
375
00:32:07,740 --> 00:32:11,980
He works at this exact pace,
for eight or ten hours.
376
00:32:12,220 --> 00:32:14,420
He doesn't get one single break,
377
00:32:14,860 --> 00:32:17,340
just ten minutes.
378
00:32:17,780 --> 00:32:22,180
All he can do is go to the toilet
and drink something, that's it.
379
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:25,220
The strike goes on!
380
00:32:36,140 --> 00:32:38,900
They called for workers,
381
00:32:39,140 --> 00:32:41,740
but human beings arrived.
382
00:32:42,180 --> 00:32:44,220
They called for workers,
383
00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:47,060
but human beings arrived.
384
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:50,420
They needed our labour,
385
00:32:50,940 --> 00:32:54,740
the manpower that gets things
done on the production line...
386
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:58,980
Company management,
the Works Council, and those who wanted to work
387
00:33:00,140 --> 00:33:03,820
helped the police
arrest all suspected strike leaders.
388
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:08,900
Because of the energy crisis, guest workers
will no longer be recruited from countries
389
00:33:09,140 --> 00:33:11,100
outside the European Community.
390
00:33:11,420 --> 00:33:15,900
Of course this is not a hostile attitude
towards foreign workers.
391
00:33:16,140 --> 00:33:19,020
In this particular situation,
we must naturally
392
00:33:19,340 --> 00:33:22,900
think of our own citizens first.
393
00:33:23,340 --> 00:33:25,900
As long as there was a lot of work to do,
394
00:33:26,340 --> 00:33:28,980
they gave us the dirty jobs.
395
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:31,580
But when the big crisis came,
396
00:33:31,820 --> 00:33:34,740
they said it was our fault.
397
00:33:35,060 --> 00:33:39,300
"Die Kanaken" are a milestone
in Turkish rock history.
398
00:33:39,540 --> 00:33:42,500
Cem Karaca, one of the most
important musicians in Turkey,
399
00:33:42,740 --> 00:33:46,580
sings in German about the problems
Turkish people in Germany have.
400
00:33:47,100 --> 00:33:49,980
You don't need our culture
401
00:33:50,260 --> 00:33:52,820
or to be with us,
402
00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:55,740
you'll always see us as strangers
403
00:33:55,980 --> 00:33:58,700
and foreigners, here or there.
404
00:33:59,060 --> 00:34:00,980
A great Turk,
I really need to emphasise that.
405
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:02,980
A modern singer,
406
00:34:03,460 --> 00:34:08,140
possibly comparable with Tom Jones
or someone like that.
407
00:34:08,460 --> 00:34:12,140
- Soulful.
- And in Turkey, I played in his band.
408
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:17,020
We met the Turkish beat and underground
star Cem Karaca during a rehearsal.
409
00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:20,540
Cem is a protest singer.
He considers himself a patriot.
410
00:34:20,860 --> 00:34:24,140
With his songs,
he risks being arrested at times.
411
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:32,420
In the morning I went
412
00:34:35,860 --> 00:34:40,380
to a sapling.
413
00:34:40,980 --> 00:34:45,300
I asked her if she was confused.
414
00:34:45,980 --> 00:34:49,140
She said "No, no!"
415
00:34:51,220 --> 00:34:55,260
Her white-jointed hands
416
00:34:55,980 --> 00:34:59,980
painted with henna.
417
00:35:01,140 --> 00:35:06,180
Cem's voice was exceptional.
You could identify him straight away.
418
00:35:06,580 --> 00:35:09,020
First of all, he had volume.
Alone on stage...
419
00:35:12,740 --> 00:35:15,500
He sang without a mic.
420
00:35:15,740 --> 00:35:19,260
The whole theatre shook.
421
00:35:19,820 --> 00:35:23,060
Such a voice, such charisma,
422
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:27,180
He captivates the audience,
electrifies it. It's something else.
423
00:35:27,540 --> 00:35:32,340
When Cem sang, he related to the song,
and let others relate to it.
424
00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:35,740
At open-air concerts
with eight to ten thousand people,
425
00:35:36,220 --> 00:35:38,860
he sang the first verse of Dadaloğlu
without a mic.
426
00:35:43,060 --> 00:35:46,300
Cem, how did
your musical style develop?
427
00:35:47,060 --> 00:35:49,780
Yes, well, I was born in Istanbul
428
00:35:50,060 --> 00:35:53,700
and went to an American college.
429
00:35:54,020 --> 00:35:58,460
That is where I practically
only listened to western music.
430
00:35:58,940 --> 00:36:02,100
Then I had to perform military service.
431
00:36:02,620 --> 00:36:06,340
I got to know
the real music of my country
432
00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:09,140
and the true face of my country.
433
00:36:09,460 --> 00:36:12,140
That very much changed
my musical direction.
434
00:36:12,380 --> 00:36:14,980
I started to create a mix
435
00:36:15,220 --> 00:36:20,500
of oriental themes and western harmonies.
436
00:36:26,620 --> 00:36:31,660
The most popular and successful Türk-rock
musician in Turkey was Cem Karaca,
437
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:34,780
until he was convicted in absentia
438
00:36:35,220 --> 00:36:38,060
while on tour in Germany
because of his political songs.
439
00:36:38,980 --> 00:36:42,700
One tabloid paper wrote he was
sentenced to 200 years imprisonment.
440
00:36:46,060 --> 00:36:49,180
I have been handcuffed.
441
00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:52,580
I have been handcuffed.
442
00:36:52,820 --> 00:36:55,980
Oy Babo!
443
00:36:57,620 --> 00:37:01,940
Cem Karaca was a star in Turkey.
Here, he practically started from scratch.
444
00:37:02,540 --> 00:37:05,940
Here they are,
Cem Karaca with the "Kanaken"!
445
00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:09,300
With "Die Kanaken", he was born again.
446
00:37:09,580 --> 00:37:13,220
With his new songs,
he also reached the German audience.
447
00:37:16,620 --> 00:37:18,740
Turkish man, we need you.
448
00:37:19,020 --> 00:37:21,300
Come to the economic wonderland.
449
00:37:21,540 --> 00:37:24,580
There's a lot of work for you to do.
450
00:37:25,820 --> 00:37:28,140
Take your future in your hands.
451
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:30,460
Hard work, hard currency - the mark.
452
00:37:30,740 --> 00:37:34,140
Turkish man, you don't know yet.
453
00:37:35,020 --> 00:37:39,140
You will give up humanity
454
00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:42,900
for another shift in the factory.
455
00:37:44,220 --> 00:37:46,780
He firmly believes in it...
456
00:37:47,380 --> 00:37:49,580
Cem started his second career over here.
457
00:37:50,060 --> 00:37:55,300
First at local concerts,
then at festivals as a Turkish band,
458
00:37:56,020 --> 00:37:59,180
later as part of a theatre group,
459
00:37:59,460 --> 00:38:02,420
then by producing the Kanaken LP record.
460
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:04,740
Then he gave a series of concerts.
461
00:38:07,820 --> 00:38:11,220
My German friend.
462
00:38:11,660 --> 00:38:13,260
Do you feel comfortable here with us?
463
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:17,260
I can only say
that I don't feel uncomfortable.
464
00:38:17,660 --> 00:38:19,260
Because this isn't your homeland.
465
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:21,820
True, you can't have two homelands.
466
00:38:22,060 --> 00:38:25,020
There is only one homeland.
It's like a mother.
467
00:38:25,260 --> 00:38:27,780
That is why we Turks
call our homeland the "motherland".
468
00:38:28,140 --> 00:38:30,300
For years he suffered from homesickness.
469
00:38:30,580 --> 00:38:33,580
Once he even went to the island of Rhodes.
470
00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:37,900
From there, he looked
over to the Turkish coast
471
00:38:38,340 --> 00:38:39,860
to soothe his longing.
472
00:38:40,260 --> 00:38:43,660
If it were possible,
he would have walked to Turkey.
473
00:38:44,020 --> 00:38:46,820
In his mother tongue,
he can easily reach people.
474
00:38:47,060 --> 00:38:49,540
He can crack jokes, introduce the songs.
475
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:52,100
He loves contact with the audience.
476
00:38:52,340 --> 00:38:57,260
He can't do it as easily in German.
477
00:38:57,620 --> 00:38:59,300
He also suffered from this.
478
00:38:59,540 --> 00:39:03,540
Another reason
why he didn't want to stay here.
479
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:06,420
Is this boring, or should I keep singing?
480
00:39:07,660 --> 00:39:08,660
Thank you.
481
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:10,340
Cem Karaca.
482
00:39:10,860 --> 00:39:12,340
Have a good flight,
483
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:15,780
I wish you
a safe arrival in Turkey.
484
00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:17,460
One more thing, xenophobia...
485
00:39:18,420 --> 00:39:20,340
While other intellectuals couldn't leave
Turkey,
486
00:39:20,340 --> 00:39:23,060
Cem Karaca wasn't allowed to enter.
487
00:39:23,540 --> 00:39:25,940
Last Monday, this vicious cycle
came to an end.
488
00:39:26,220 --> 00:39:30,340
Cem Karaca began a risky journey
from Frankfurt back to Istanbul.
489
00:39:30,580 --> 00:39:34,260
He hadn't been able to see his son
or attend his father's funeral.
490
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:36,900
Cem said goodbye.
491
00:39:38,860 --> 00:39:41,740
Your harem pants are such a bother,
492
00:39:42,060 --> 00:39:45,180
leave legs and head without a cover...
493
00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:48,780
A last farewell on the steps.
494
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:51,820
He flashes the victory sign.
495
00:39:52,660 --> 00:39:55,940
We like you as garbage men,
496
00:39:56,260 --> 00:39:58,580
but your wages are always lower...
497
00:39:58,980 --> 00:40:03,940
Finally he enters the last three hours
of an exile that had lasted seven years.
498
00:40:05,660 --> 00:40:07,900
Due to the policy of détente in Turkey,
499
00:40:08,260 --> 00:40:10,300
the authorities did not
cause Cem any problems.
500
00:40:10,540 --> 00:40:13,900
Proceedings are disputed
without remand in custody.
501
00:41:29,060 --> 00:41:32,660
Turks in West Germany participated
in a competition by a newspaper
502
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:37,620
to identify the most popular
Turkish singers and actors.
503
00:41:37,860 --> 00:41:41,580
Concerts were organised
in four German cities.
504
00:41:41,940 --> 00:41:47,100
On 10 May, this group of artists
arrived at the airport in Düsseldorf.
505
00:41:47,940 --> 00:41:50,940
The event in the sports hall in Cologne
turned out to be
506
00:41:51,180 --> 00:41:54,100
a great success,
just like the other three.
507
00:41:54,340 --> 00:41:55,500
To close our programme...
508
00:41:55,980 --> 00:41:58,300
To close today's programme...
509
00:41:58,660 --> 00:42:00,900
- To close...
- To close... - To close...
510
00:42:01,380 --> 00:42:03,100
- To close...
- ...today's programme...
511
00:42:03,460 --> 00:42:04,900
...a modern, Turkish song...
512
00:42:05,260 --> 00:42:07,660
- ...with a Turkish chanson...
- ...a love song.
513
00:42:10,060 --> 00:42:13,660
Turkish music, no matter
whether it's folklore, classical or pop,
514
00:42:14,020 --> 00:42:18,540
is restricted to being played
in the context of Turkish broadcasts,
515
00:42:19,060 --> 00:42:21,020
of which there are not very many.
516
00:42:21,340 --> 00:42:23,420
Local disc jockeys or programmers
517
00:42:23,660 --> 00:42:28,060
complain about the allegedly
poor quality of pop productions,
518
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:31,180
and say listeners quickly get tired
during classical music programmes.
519
00:42:31,420 --> 00:42:34,700
It all sounds the same to
Central Europeans.
520
00:42:34,940 --> 00:42:35,980
However...
521
00:42:36,260 --> 00:42:40,140
It would be no problem
to have Turkish artists perform
522
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:44,620
at colourful evenings, quiz shows,
or any type of event,
523
00:42:44,860 --> 00:42:47,820
to bring Germans and Turks
closer together through culture.
524
00:42:48,060 --> 00:42:49,980
So people might say,
525
00:42:50,220 --> 00:42:52,060
hey, that's interesting!
526
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:55,460
Ajda Pekkan, who you've been playing
all day in your apartment next door,
527
00:42:55,700 --> 00:42:58,780
I saw her on TV. She looks
wonderful and has a fantastic voice.
528
00:42:59,020 --> 00:43:00,620
That unfortunately does not happen.
529
00:43:00,980 --> 00:43:02,900
That's where the media have really failed.
530
00:43:03,140 --> 00:43:06,300
During all those years,
no attempt was made to say,
531
00:43:06,660 --> 00:43:11,540
this is how your Turkish neighbour lives,
and what he does in his free time.
532
00:43:23,220 --> 00:43:25,420
Let's try this one.
533
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:29,100
OK.
534
00:43:29,540 --> 00:43:31,580
It can collapse anytime.
535
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:35,340
As you see, I said so.
536
00:43:35,780 --> 00:43:40,780
That didn't work. Wait. Let's find
something else. What could that be?
537
00:43:47,300 --> 00:43:50,980
This is called "
Caravan into exile
".
538
00:43:51,260 --> 00:43:55,900
Our people lived in a foreign place
and were homesick.
539
00:43:56,140 --> 00:44:01,220
That is why crowds would go to concerts
when artists came to Europe.
540
00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:06,660
Some concerts
were recorded on video
541
00:44:07,180 --> 00:44:08,540
and sold.
542
00:44:08,940 --> 00:44:11,860
Do you know any German pop singers?
543
00:44:12,340 --> 00:44:14,060
Nena, for example.
544
00:44:14,380 --> 00:44:18,300
And "Geier Sturzflug"
is my favourite band.
545
00:44:18,540 --> 00:44:20,300
- So, all the pop and rock bands?
- Yes.
546
00:44:20,660 --> 00:44:23,660
Ferdi Tayfur sings love
songs like Peter Maffay.
547
00:44:23,940 --> 00:44:25,420
Tell him that he's a star.
548
00:44:25,460 --> 00:44:30,140
And like Michael Schanze,
Udo Jürgens, songs like that.
549
00:44:30,660 --> 00:44:34,180
- Would you pay to see Udo Jürgens too?
- Yes, of course.
550
00:44:34,580 --> 00:44:36,980
Will touring in Germany take a long time?
551
00:44:36,980 --> 00:44:38,300
Yes, a very long time.
552
00:44:46,140 --> 00:44:50,300
Ferdi Tayfur, a hero in 30 films,
whom everyone in Turkey knows.
553
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:53,180
Musical star and pop singer.
554
00:44:53,500 --> 00:44:57,060
Ferdi Tayfur - a girl's dream,
and for Turkish people,
555
00:44:57,300 --> 00:45:00,460
a mixture of Douglas Fairbanks
and Frank Sinatra.
556
00:45:00,940 --> 00:45:03,100
Concert promoter Mark comments:
557
00:45:03,340 --> 00:45:05,740
We looked at the situation
in Baden-Württemberg.
558
00:45:05,980 --> 00:45:09,220
There are 226,000 Turks,
but no cultural offering.
559
00:45:09,740 --> 00:45:11,620
There is hardly any risk.
560
00:45:12,380 --> 00:45:14,180
You have to look at the programme.
561
00:45:14,420 --> 00:45:16,740
For us, it's just about the same
as if Peter Alexander
562
00:45:17,780 --> 00:45:20,420
and Udo Jürgens
were on the same stage.
563
00:45:20,660 --> 00:45:23,260
They're superstars from Turkey.
564
00:45:39,020 --> 00:45:42,940
If we have led you to breathe in
565
00:45:44,980 --> 00:45:49,900
the scent of our earth,
of our melodies, and of Anatolia
566
00:45:50,260 --> 00:45:52,660
by means of our instruments and voices,
567
00:45:52,900 --> 00:45:57,820
my colleagues - musicians and artists -
would be very happy.
568
00:45:58,140 --> 00:46:00,300
May God fulfill all your wishes.
Thank you!
569
00:46:00,820 --> 00:46:04,460
We came running from the motherland
570
00:46:05,300 --> 00:46:10,540
to be united with you...
571
00:46:23,100 --> 00:46:28,300
For concerts, the musicians
would come over from Turkey.
572
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:32,740
When solo artists from Turkey
performed in restaurants,
573
00:46:33,260 --> 00:46:35,460
they were not accompanied.
574
00:46:36,420 --> 00:46:38,260
Musicians who performed more often
575
00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:41,660
would bring their violinist
or keyboard player with them.
576
00:46:42,020 --> 00:46:45,380
The musicians in Berlin
were really good at the time.
577
00:46:45,980 --> 00:46:48,220
The focus turned to Berlin.
578
00:46:48,700 --> 00:46:50,500
Definitely for Germany.
579
00:46:50,740 --> 00:46:53,380
There are Turkish people
580
00:46:54,340 --> 00:46:56,780
in all big German cities.
581
00:46:57,140 --> 00:46:59,940
But not so many.
582
00:47:00,220 --> 00:47:03,580
That is why you cannot compare
nightlife in Berlin
583
00:47:03,820 --> 00:47:07,420
with the nightlife elsewhere
in Germany.
584
00:47:19,740 --> 00:47:22,980
At the time, a so-called Gazino culture
was firmly established.
585
00:47:24,140 --> 00:47:26,620
People tried to introduce
the Turkish concept
586
00:47:26,860 --> 00:47:29,140
of restaurants
with musical performances over here.
587
00:47:29,500 --> 00:47:33,820
In one Gazino,
there were five different orchestras.
588
00:47:34,380 --> 00:47:36,140
A western orchestra.
589
00:47:36,540 --> 00:47:40,940
Then, musicians with classic
Turkish instruments or bağlamas.
590
00:47:41,540 --> 00:47:44,340
With them, the solo artist
inaugurated the evening.
591
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:46,900
Then the belly dancer came on stage.
592
00:47:47,340 --> 00:47:50,300
I was the last main artist
of the evening to perform.
593
00:47:50,980 --> 00:47:52,820
Or you, or him.
594
00:47:53,140 --> 00:47:54,460
Look, when I came over here.
595
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:56,540
Are you recording?
596
00:47:56,980 --> 00:48:01,700
Before the eighties,
there were even more Gazinos.
597
00:48:02,140 --> 00:48:05,380
So when I came over here,
there was the Maxim by people from Muş.
598
00:48:05,900 --> 00:48:07,900
Köşk Gazino, by people from Sivas.
599
00:48:08,140 --> 00:48:10,260
Kara Kedi Gazino
by people from Adana.
600
00:48:10,700 --> 00:48:12,900
There was the Menekşe, the Çakıl.
601
00:48:13,140 --> 00:48:16,100
The Erciyes in Oranien Strasse...
602
00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:21,780
Efes, Çakıl, Turkish Bazaar.
603
00:48:30,260 --> 00:48:32,820
Where exactly is their scene?
604
00:48:33,060 --> 00:48:38,220
The most popular Turkish location in
Germany is the Turkish Bazaar in Berlin.
605
00:48:38,540 --> 00:48:42,460
The former railway station is open daily,
as of late morning.
606
00:48:43,060 --> 00:48:48,660
Between kebab booths, about 20 stores
sell tapes and video cassettes.
607
00:48:58,980 --> 00:49:04,620
Evenings until late at night,
Turks living in the Federal Republic
608
00:49:04,940 --> 00:49:08,740
play live music in the casino
of the Turkish Bazaar.
609
00:49:10,540 --> 00:49:16,300
People went to the Bazaar even during
daytime, when they got bored.
610
00:49:16,660 --> 00:49:21,100
They could forget their daily
routine there. It was a beautiful place.
611
00:49:21,580 --> 00:49:24,220
Carpet dealers, bridal fashion,
612
00:49:24,460 --> 00:49:28,500
a tiny shop for dowries.
613
00:49:28,900 --> 00:49:31,540
People came to buy wedding gowns.
614
00:49:32,180 --> 00:49:36,140
Young couples came to buy
rings and jewellery.
615
00:49:36,820 --> 00:49:38,660
You could find anything imaginable.
616
00:49:39,020 --> 00:49:42,300
It was a central attraction in Berlin.
617
00:49:43,980 --> 00:49:46,900
At the era of the Berlin
Wall, the station was closed.
618
00:49:46,900 --> 00:49:48,580
This line wasn't running.
619
00:49:48,980 --> 00:49:51,620
So the station wasn't used anymore.
620
00:49:51,980 --> 00:49:56,220
- When was the Bazaar inaugurated?
- Around 1978, 1979.
621
00:49:56,740 --> 00:49:59,700
It was the most
beautiful Gazino in Berlin.
622
00:50:00,220 --> 00:50:02,020
The most beautiful in Germany.
623
00:50:09,580 --> 00:50:11,380
From here, in this direction.
624
00:50:11,860 --> 00:50:17,620
This is the area where the Gazino was.
625
00:50:18,740 --> 00:50:20,860
And jewellery shops were here.
626
00:50:21,180 --> 00:50:22,820
Video shops.
627
00:50:23,900 --> 00:50:29,420
This is approximately
where Neşet Ertaş' music store was.
628
00:50:29,740 --> 00:50:31,700
Just about.
629
00:50:32,340 --> 00:50:34,060
The decedent's store.
630
00:50:34,300 --> 00:50:38,140
The shops were all very small.
631
00:50:46,020 --> 00:50:49,020
The Bazaar was particularly big.
632
00:50:49,460 --> 00:50:52,220
A big stage with curtains.
633
00:50:52,660 --> 00:50:56,140
Real Gazino atmosphere.
It was spacious and had high ceilings.
634
00:50:56,580 --> 00:50:59,820
A lot was going on in the passageway.
People would go in and out.
635
00:51:00,060 --> 00:51:03,780
Then, when they brought famous artists
over from Turkey,
636
00:51:04,020 --> 00:51:07,220
it really became a Gazino.
637
00:51:07,820 --> 00:51:12,820
Zeki Müren, Öztürk Serengil,
only major artists performed there.
638
00:51:23,980 --> 00:51:26,820
The Turkish Bazaar
was a wonderful place.
639
00:51:27,060 --> 00:51:29,420
Always packed!
640
00:51:30,060 --> 00:51:32,220
I stayed on stage
for three to four hours.
641
00:51:32,740 --> 00:51:35,660
Those were the golden years in Berlin.
642
00:51:37,220 --> 00:51:39,780
Saturday evenings
were always packed with people.
643
00:51:45,140 --> 00:51:47,180
I was a faggot.
644
00:51:47,580 --> 00:51:51,700
Well, I look the same today?
It's a God-given gift.
645
00:51:53,300 --> 00:51:55,580
A gift from God, not kidding.
646
00:51:56,700 --> 00:51:59,940
Oh, sweetie! Hatay the tart.
647
00:52:02,940 --> 00:52:05,980
I was very young then, almost a child.
648
00:52:08,980 --> 00:52:14,900
Your lying eyes
that don't believe in love.
649
00:52:15,580 --> 00:52:21,780
Your eyes, let me dream.
650
00:52:22,420 --> 00:52:29,540
Your lying eyes
that don't believe in love...
651
00:52:49,740 --> 00:52:51,220
Turn it up.
652
00:52:51,820 --> 00:52:54,300
Stop the music,
I need to hear myself.
653
00:52:54,780 --> 00:52:56,180
Give me the note.
654
00:52:56,580 --> 00:52:58,180
Louder.
655
00:52:59,020 --> 00:53:01,740
Do we have to speak English?
Shit!
656
00:53:02,420 --> 00:53:04,620
I only speak French.
657
00:53:05,660 --> 00:53:06,860
- Ready?
- One, two.
658
00:53:07,780 --> 00:53:10,620
Who's responsible for that?
Who's creating the echo?
659
00:53:10,940 --> 00:53:13,380
- We need to wait a moment.
- OK, I'll wait.
660
00:53:13,740 --> 00:53:17,140
- We're waiting for the effects.
- Wait at home for me.
661
00:53:17,820 --> 00:53:20,260
No offence, I'm only joking.
Don't take life too seriously.
662
00:53:20,500 --> 00:53:22,780
Nothing in this world belongs to us.
663
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:25,900
My treasured friend Hatay Engin.
664
00:53:26,340 --> 00:53:29,460
He was a very funny artist.
665
00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:33,100
He would sing a song,
and then crack jokes for half an hour.
666
00:53:33,420 --> 00:53:34,900
People really liked that.
667
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:37,460
No one thought it was odd.
668
00:53:37,700 --> 00:53:41,500
Sometimes he made insinuating jokes,
but no one was offended.
669
00:53:41,740 --> 00:53:46,100
Nobody felt insulted. He had such
a charming way of saying things.
670
00:53:48,980 --> 00:53:53,700
Have I given up everything for you,
671
00:53:54,580 --> 00:53:58,420
for nothing?
672
00:54:12,140 --> 00:54:14,220
Rehearsal's over.
673
00:54:14,900 --> 00:54:16,900
The microphone is yours.
674
00:54:17,860 --> 00:54:20,420
When do I need to go on stage?
675
00:54:21,380 --> 00:54:24,300
Ten o'clock?
That's too early, I'll still be sleeping.
676
00:54:24,780 --> 00:54:27,380
- I'll go on stage at eleven.
- Let's see.
677
00:54:27,620 --> 00:54:29,540
At eleven o'clock.
678
00:54:29,940 --> 00:54:32,900
At ten, people are still sober.
679
00:55:13,620 --> 00:55:17,060
Weddings are as festive as possible.
680
00:55:17,460 --> 00:55:22,020
There is always a splendidly
decorated doll on the wedding car.
681
00:55:23,780 --> 00:55:26,140
About a thousand guests came.
That's not unusual.
682
00:55:27,460 --> 00:55:29,780
A celebration like this costs
ten thousand marks.
683
00:55:30,940 --> 00:55:35,180
There's a nonstop musical programme
for several hours. That's normal.
684
00:55:35,460 --> 00:55:39,620
Then the adventure began,
with all those weddings.
685
00:55:40,100 --> 00:55:42,540
For 15, 20 years
we played at weddings only.
686
00:55:42,780 --> 00:55:45,540
Getting married was
very trendy at the time.
687
00:55:45,940 --> 00:55:49,940
In Germany, at that time,
there was not one Turkish wedding hall.
688
00:55:50,220 --> 00:55:54,900
Depending on one's budget, one
rented church halls, citizen's halls...
689
00:55:55,140 --> 00:56:00,060
The Germans had
their own event halls.
690
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:05,140
We always played in these German halls.
You know, our weddings are always crowded.
691
00:56:05,460 --> 00:56:10,340
One to two thousand people.
It was like at concerts.
692
00:56:10,820 --> 00:56:13,700
Playing at wedding halls
was good practice for us.
693
00:56:14,180 --> 00:56:17,740
Absolutely!
To be able to play the saz like I do,
694
00:56:18,460 --> 00:56:20,740
I also owe it to those weddings.
695
00:56:21,300 --> 00:56:24,460
Turkish musicians in Germany
can play music from all regions in Turkey.
696
00:56:24,700 --> 00:56:26,900
That's because
we always have different guests.
697
00:56:27,260 --> 00:56:30,380
Sometimes people from Erzincan,
or from Erzurum, or from Ağrı.
698
00:56:30,620 --> 00:56:32,740
We must be able to play songs
699
00:56:33,260 --> 00:56:37,300
from all 81 provinces of the country.
700
00:56:37,820 --> 00:56:41,580
If not, the guest will be unhappy,
and you won't receive a tip.
701
00:56:41,940 --> 00:56:45,100
- What about Kurdish?
- You must be able to sing in Kurdish.
702
00:56:45,580 --> 00:56:48,900
At a Kurdish wedding
we cannot play songs by Tarkan.
703
00:56:49,540 --> 00:56:50,940
We have to play Halay.
704
00:56:51,180 --> 00:56:54,820
Our repertoire includes
20 to 30 different Kurdish line dances.
705
00:56:55,260 --> 00:56:59,860
At a wedding from the Black Sea,
we cannot play dance music from the South.
706
00:57:00,140 --> 00:57:03,980
At a Turkish-Arabic wedding, you
have to sing at least two songs in Arabic.
707
00:57:04,220 --> 00:57:07,020
You have to make
the Arabic guests happy, too.
708
00:57:07,260 --> 00:57:11,740
If you're not able to,
you need to find an Arabic artist.
709
00:58:00,580 --> 00:58:05,140
We played pieces of music
from every region in Turkey.
710
00:58:05,620 --> 00:58:11,260
We even interpreted elegies from Arguvan
with western instruments.
711
00:58:12,060 --> 00:58:15,060
Our music was very dynamic.
712
00:58:15,540 --> 00:58:19,580
The Germans call it "stark", which
means strong. Music like heavy metal.
713
00:58:19,820 --> 00:58:21,220
The Germans liked it.
714
00:58:21,620 --> 00:58:25,900
When Derdiyoklar performed folk music,
715
00:58:26,380 --> 00:58:31,980
you felt like you were at a
Michael Jackson concert. You freaked out.
716
00:58:36,060 --> 00:58:39,620
Back then, the duo Derdiyoklar
set off an avalanche.
717
00:58:39,860 --> 00:58:42,900
They appeared at weddings together.
718
00:58:43,260 --> 00:58:45,540
They recounted Alevite stories and poems
719
00:58:45,780 --> 00:58:49,180
in an innovative way, with drums.
720
00:58:49,820 --> 00:58:52,180
It was a kind of revolution at the time.
721
00:58:52,700 --> 00:58:56,900
In those wedding years,
they were like their own school.
722
00:59:27,180 --> 00:59:30,540
I play various string instruments.
723
00:59:31,300 --> 00:59:34,860
My guitar with its three necks
has become our brand label.
724
00:59:35,380 --> 00:59:40,500
We play on long-neck lutes that
we created, that look like guitars.
725
00:59:40,820 --> 00:59:44,380
I played the keyboards with my nose,
and the guitars with my foot.
726
00:59:44,820 --> 00:59:47,380
Ali of Derdiyoklar played completely
different long-neck lutes.
727
00:59:47,620 --> 00:59:49,780
They were designed like guitars.
728
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:52,580
He played standing up
with a strap around his neck.
729
00:59:52,820 --> 00:59:55,580
I combined motion and music.
730
00:59:55,980 --> 00:59:58,660
Every one of our movements
had a meaning.
731
00:59:59,340 --> 01:00:03,700
We had choreography
for every single song.
732
01:00:12,740 --> 01:00:15,300
We sing about current issues.
733
01:00:15,540 --> 01:00:21,820
In Europe, I was honoured as an artist
who sings against racism.
734
01:00:22,220 --> 01:00:27,820
We even have a song, half-German,
half-Turkish, called "Liebe Gabi".
735
01:00:32,660 --> 01:00:36,900
Helmut Kohl and Strauss,
dear Gabi,
736
01:00:37,180 --> 01:00:41,420
Helmut Kohl and Strauss,
dear Gabi,
737
01:00:41,700 --> 01:00:45,940
want foreigners out, dear Gabi,
738
01:00:46,260 --> 01:00:50,460
want foreigners out, dear Gabi.
739
01:00:50,780 --> 01:00:56,300
Are we not human beings,
dear Gabi?
740
01:00:59,940 --> 01:01:04,260
We could all live in a world of love,
dear Gabi.
741
01:01:22,220 --> 01:01:27,620
Traditionally at weddings,
people would pin money on us.
742
01:01:27,900 --> 01:01:29,900
Give and take.
743
01:01:30,420 --> 01:01:31,900
People had money.
744
01:01:32,180 --> 01:01:33,460
You could tell.
745
01:01:33,860 --> 01:01:37,580
An incredible amount
of money was circulating.
746
01:01:37,820 --> 01:01:41,220
Money was flying around our ears.
747
01:01:41,740 --> 01:01:44,940
People living in exile
were particularly generous.
748
01:01:45,220 --> 01:01:48,660
People happily gave tips.
749
01:01:58,900 --> 01:02:02,140
- I've seen 225,000 euros.
- I've seen 150,000.
750
01:02:03,300 --> 01:02:05,700
At Arap Güngör's wedding.
751
01:02:06,220 --> 01:02:08,100
Up to a thousand guests.
752
01:02:08,340 --> 01:02:12,860
160,000 marks. Not euros,
were pinned on the bride and groom.
753
01:02:13,340 --> 01:02:16,580
Once, the bridal couple
received 80,000 marks like this.
754
01:02:17,460 --> 01:02:20,900
Like, a kilo of gold.
Do you know what they told me?
755
01:02:21,580 --> 01:02:23,380
The bride ran off with her ex.
756
01:02:32,260 --> 01:02:36,300
We saw Hummers, the big ones.
757
01:02:36,580 --> 01:02:39,060
Various limousines.
758
01:02:39,460 --> 01:02:42,180
One couple even came riding on a horse.
759
01:02:42,460 --> 01:02:44,340
- Camel?
- No.
760
01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:45,500
No camel.
761
01:02:45,820 --> 01:02:49,620
- Helicopter?
- One helicopter landed on the car park.
762
01:02:49,780 --> 01:02:50,980
The Mark...
763
01:02:50,980 --> 01:02:54,940
In those days, I earned a
thousand Deutschmarks per night.
764
01:02:55,500 --> 01:02:59,060
I didn't even want it paid out.
765
01:02:59,300 --> 01:03:03,700
I earned five or six times
that amount in tips only.
766
01:03:04,140 --> 01:03:05,860
The good old German Mark.
767
01:03:06,140 --> 01:03:09,740
The Deutschmark had a
completely different authority.
768
01:03:09,980 --> 01:03:14,220
When you said Deutsche Mark,
you spoke of a value.
769
01:03:18,140 --> 01:03:21,580
These are original Deutschmark banknotes,
they're valuable.
770
01:03:21,820 --> 01:03:24,300
And they're not counterfeits?
771
01:03:25,220 --> 01:03:28,140
Three, four hundred Marks
were hidden between napkins,
772
01:03:28,380 --> 01:03:32,620
so nobody would see,
so as not to embarrass the artist.
773
01:03:32,860 --> 01:03:36,540
See, how respectful.
That's how we received song requests.
774
01:03:37,220 --> 01:03:39,660
My clothes were full of money.
775
01:03:39,900 --> 01:03:43,300
There was money all over,
even in my underpants.
776
01:03:44,100 --> 01:03:46,980
The more people danced,
the more money came pouring down.
777
01:03:47,220 --> 01:03:51,020
I swear to God!
I swept the money with a broom.
778
01:03:51,500 --> 01:03:54,540
I try to adapt a bit
to what the audience wants.
779
01:03:54,980 --> 01:03:58,020
There are certain songs
when I sing them,
780
01:03:58,300 --> 01:04:00,820
for sure someone sends
champagne on stage.
781
01:04:01,060 --> 01:04:03,980
In Berlin, nobody treats you
to only one bottle of champagne.
782
01:04:04,540 --> 01:04:08,460
They treat you to entire boxes.
Five, ten, fifteen boxes of champagne.
783
01:04:08,700 --> 01:04:12,780
Two waiters open one bottle after the
other, until the end of the programme.
784
01:04:13,020 --> 01:04:15,900
They never finished.
I am talking about two waiters.
785
01:04:16,580 --> 01:04:22,020
If you wanted to open all ten, there was
no more room on stage. And it got wet.
786
01:04:22,260 --> 01:04:27,300
Then a carton of rakı is ordered,
just to burn it.
787
01:04:28,220 --> 01:04:31,780
It's lit up, poured out,
and the floor starts burning.
788
01:04:32,620 --> 01:04:35,940
We survived quite a few dangers.
789
01:04:36,380 --> 01:04:41,900
Then we smashed plates for a while,
like the Greeks.
790
01:04:47,380 --> 01:04:51,740
Once in Hanover,
a guy kept burning things all night long.
791
01:04:52,100 --> 01:04:56,940
Once he'd burned everything, he took off
his Cartier jacket and lit that up.
792
01:04:57,220 --> 01:04:58,740
Only later did he notice
793
01:04:58,980 --> 01:05:01,940
that his watch worth 12,000 Marks
had been in the jacket.
794
01:05:02,180 --> 01:05:04,620
It was worth it, he said.
This is what we experienced.
795
01:05:04,860 --> 01:05:08,220
As I said before,
there was a lot of dirty money.
796
01:06:36,820 --> 01:06:40,940
At the age of 12, 13, 14
we were outside on the streets.
797
01:06:41,220 --> 01:06:45,580
You can guess the rest.
All of Turkish youth was on the streets.
798
01:06:45,820 --> 01:06:48,060
We kept to ourselves.
799
01:06:48,300 --> 01:06:51,660
We didn't have German friends,
we were supposed to go back to Turkey.
800
01:06:52,060 --> 01:06:54,580
When we ended up staying,
the young kids were done for.
801
01:06:54,940 --> 01:06:57,300
What do we do now?
802
01:06:57,580 --> 01:06:59,860
Many kids had quit school
to at least earn money.
803
01:07:00,220 --> 01:07:02,780
Most of us, of this lost generation
804
01:07:03,180 --> 01:07:07,580
were only worth considering
as labourers or unskilled workers.
805
01:07:07,820 --> 01:07:10,660
Without education, without knowledge.
806
01:07:11,020 --> 01:07:13,940
Our parents weren't around.
They were working all the time.
807
01:07:14,180 --> 01:07:17,860
I was eight when I came to Germany.
808
01:07:18,500 --> 01:07:22,940
My parents showed me once
how to get to school.
809
01:07:23,260 --> 01:07:25,940
The next day I had to go there by myself,
and got lost.
810
01:07:26,180 --> 01:07:29,860
I couldn't speak German, nobody was there.
My parents couldn't get time off.
811
01:07:30,300 --> 01:07:34,860
Ayfer, when did you come here?
812
01:07:35,660 --> 01:07:39,540
When did you come over here?
How many months ago?
813
01:07:40,380 --> 01:07:45,340
I came on the 23rd of June,
that makes seven months.
814
01:07:48,300 --> 01:07:52,340
I arrived six months ago.
815
01:08:06,340 --> 01:08:08,780
The children are here for five, six years.
816
01:08:09,020 --> 01:08:13,020
Without significant help or
a supportive environment. Tolerated.
817
01:08:13,260 --> 01:08:17,620
Without grandparents. They are left
to themselves, or siblings watch them.
818
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:22,260
Many cook, run the household,
are interpreters for their parents.
819
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:27,780
Stray between the norms of their home
country and the rules on German streets.
820
01:09:19,260 --> 01:09:20,700
What are these children?
821
01:09:20,940 --> 01:09:25,140
No longer Turks.
Not yet, and certainly never, Germans.
822
01:09:25,700 --> 01:09:28,340
They should have
the possibility to choose.
823
01:09:28,780 --> 01:09:32,340
In reality, they have little,
if anything, from either.
824
01:09:34,100 --> 01:09:38,860
I've been living here for ten years.
I came when I was four years old.
825
01:09:45,900 --> 01:09:49,700
What's the difference
between a Turkish woman and a pig?
826
01:09:50,180 --> 01:09:52,660
Pigs don't wear headscarves.
827
01:09:54,220 --> 01:09:57,460
It's very difficult to attend high school.
828
01:09:57,860 --> 01:10:01,220
The German language is the first reason.
829
01:10:01,460 --> 01:10:05,060
Another reason is that we're foreigners.
We are discriminated everywhere.
830
01:10:05,420 --> 01:10:09,620
Germans are always preferred.
831
01:10:10,020 --> 01:10:13,900
We will most probably
also end up as unskilled workers.
832
01:10:31,980 --> 01:10:35,220
Are you happy with your apartment?
833
01:10:35,820 --> 01:10:37,980
- No.
- Why?
834
01:10:38,340 --> 01:10:42,300
My apartment is humid.
835
01:10:42,540 --> 01:10:46,460
The toilet is downstairs.
836
01:10:50,660 --> 01:10:53,300
How many rooms do you have?
837
01:10:53,620 --> 01:10:54,660
Two.
838
01:11:37,780 --> 01:11:40,500
I've been in Germany for one year.
839
01:11:40,980 --> 01:11:45,060
My parents have been
in Germany for 5 years.
840
01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:48,020
I can't get a work permit.
841
01:11:48,340 --> 01:11:51,900
I want to become a nurse.
842
01:11:53,180 --> 01:11:55,660
But no chance for an apprenticeship.
843
01:12:29,220 --> 01:12:31,300
What's the difference
between Jews and Turks?
844
01:12:31,540 --> 01:12:33,540
The Jews had their share already.
845
01:12:35,420 --> 01:12:42,980
Oh Germany, oh Germany,
can I rely on you?
846
01:12:43,580 --> 01:12:46,820
Will you authorise me to stay?
847
01:12:47,340 --> 01:12:50,980
No one knows what you want.
848
01:12:51,860 --> 01:12:58,700
Oh Germany, oh Germany,
sometimes you hurt me.
849
01:12:59,300 --> 01:13:02,660
It's hard to figure you out.
850
01:13:02,980 --> 01:13:05,580
I have no more hope.
851
01:13:05,860 --> 01:13:11,220
Are you a homeland?
Or a foreign country?
852
01:13:12,940 --> 01:13:17,220
Oh Germany, oh Germany...
853
01:13:24,300 --> 01:13:26,620
This is German television
with the news.
854
01:13:27,140 --> 01:13:30,220
Seven people were killed in a major fire.
855
01:13:30,580 --> 01:13:32,660
This morning in Duisburg.
856
01:13:32,820 --> 01:13:37,500
Shortly before Christmas Eve,
Ramazan Avci, a 26-year-old Turk,
857
01:13:37,740 --> 01:13:40,460
was brutally murdered in our city
by a gang of skinheads.
858
01:13:40,860 --> 01:13:42,060
The death of three members
859
01:13:42,300 --> 01:13:43,780
of a Turkish family and a German
860
01:13:44,020 --> 01:13:45,900
was the occasion for a memorial march
861
01:13:46,140 --> 01:13:47,340
today in Schwandorf, Bavaria.
862
01:13:47,700 --> 01:13:52,660
In Hoyerswerda, right-wing radicals
again attacked housing for foreigners.
863
01:13:53,140 --> 01:13:55,540
The anniversary of Unification
was overshadowed
864
01:13:55,780 --> 01:13:57,260
by violence against foreigners.
865
01:13:57,620 --> 01:13:59,180
In Hünxe, two Lebanese children
866
01:13:59,500 --> 01:14:01,420
suffered severe burns.
867
01:14:01,860 --> 01:14:06,580
A massive police force has for the time
being stopped xenophobic riots in Rostock.
868
01:14:07,020 --> 01:14:10,740
Violent offenders,
apparently right-wing radicals,
869
01:14:10,980 --> 01:14:13,140
killed three people last night.
870
01:14:13,580 --> 01:14:18,620
And then Solingen happened.
That's only 28 or 30 kilometres away.
871
01:14:18,860 --> 01:14:20,220
It kept coming closer.
872
01:14:21,100 --> 01:14:25,340
Solingen, Saturday, 29 May 1993.
873
01:14:25,900 --> 01:14:29,580
An entire family of five is dead
and three severely injured,
874
01:14:29,820 --> 01:14:31,980
the result of a brutal attack.
875
01:14:32,740 --> 01:14:37,260
Hatice Genç comes to the crime scene.
Her daughters Saime and Hülya are dead.
876
01:14:50,740 --> 01:14:53,100
Soon it becomes obvious,
the fire had been set.
877
01:14:53,340 --> 01:14:58,180
A further attack on foreigners after
the terrorist acts in Hünxe and Mölln.
878
01:14:58,500 --> 01:15:00,980
Mölln and Solingen
were the turning point.
879
01:15:01,540 --> 01:15:05,180
That led to the feeling that
it could happen to anyone.
880
01:15:05,780 --> 01:15:07,820
That's a new dimension.
Will things stay like this?
881
01:15:08,140 --> 01:15:11,900
Should we arm ourselves?
All these fears grew.
882
01:15:12,260 --> 01:15:16,820
But one day after the attack,
grief turns to rage.
883
01:15:18,660 --> 01:15:21,860
Murderers! Murderers! Murderers!
884
01:15:24,780 --> 01:15:27,100
Piss off, skinhead,
get out of my sight!
885
01:15:27,420 --> 01:15:29,420
I don't like your people anyway.
886
01:15:29,660 --> 01:15:31,940
Your language, your face,
your cold country.
887
01:15:32,180 --> 01:15:34,660
Get lost,
I don't want to hear your voice.
888
01:15:35,020 --> 01:15:36,300
You walk like a dog in a pack.
889
01:15:36,620 --> 01:15:38,900
If you rattle my cage,
I'll hit you in the face.
890
01:15:39,180 --> 01:15:41,700
Right, left, right and a kick.
891
01:15:42,060 --> 01:15:44,740
You skinhead, we're not like the Jews.
We are Turks!
892
01:15:44,980 --> 01:15:46,580
Either we're free or we die.
893
01:15:46,820 --> 01:15:49,700
The biggest problem Turkish kids
have is what happens here.
894
01:15:49,940 --> 01:15:53,300
Especially after all
those xenophobic attacks,
895
01:15:53,580 --> 01:15:57,340
not just Turkish kids
but also teens and young adults,
896
01:15:57,700 --> 01:16:00,460
have a kind of inferiority complex.
897
01:16:00,700 --> 01:16:03,700
We're trying to do something about it.
You have a right to live in Germany.
898
01:16:03,940 --> 01:16:06,780
Your parents and grandparents
contributed considerably to achieving
899
01:16:07,220 --> 01:16:09,460
Germany's current standard of living.
900
01:16:09,700 --> 01:16:12,700
You're not in the wrong.
Nobody has the right to kick you out.
901
01:16:13,100 --> 01:16:16,660
Germany!
Why were we brought over here?
902
01:16:16,940 --> 01:16:18,020
Because of the money.
903
01:16:18,260 --> 01:16:21,860
This rage is simply part of our music,
or was part of it.
904
01:16:22,100 --> 01:16:23,660
This is hip hop, this is rap.
905
01:16:24,020 --> 01:16:26,580
The impact has to be full on.
You can't just say:
906
01:16:26,820 --> 01:16:31,500
"Can you please stop
burning Turkish houses down?"
907
01:16:31,740 --> 01:16:35,060
That won't work.
You cannot just establish a dialogue.
908
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:40,060
To us, rap was a motor of self-defence.
909
01:16:40,300 --> 01:16:42,340
In Solingen, we were on the motorway.
910
01:16:42,620 --> 01:16:44,980
We blocked the motorway
with many other people.
911
01:16:45,780 --> 01:16:49,060
Tyres were burning.
But we still had our art.
912
01:16:49,900 --> 01:16:52,580
My name is Ahmet Gündüz.
Let me recount.
913
01:16:52,820 --> 01:16:55,220
You have to listen carefully,
I don't know much German.
914
01:16:55,460 --> 01:16:57,860
I come from Turkey, two years here.
915
01:16:58,100 --> 01:17:00,420
I was happy.
But living here is tough.
916
01:17:00,860 --> 01:17:03,300
At work, my boss says:
"Hey, Kanak, how are you?"
917
01:17:03,540 --> 01:17:06,060
I say "Ha sittir lan"
But asshole nothing understand.
918
01:17:06,300 --> 01:17:08,900
My son goes to school.
Now he can write.
919
01:17:09,140 --> 01:17:11,580
The teacher's a pig,
he always lets him fail.
920
01:17:12,020 --> 01:17:14,260
Yesterday, I leave work
am sitting on the train,
921
01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:17,020
a drunk guy comes along
and sits down next to me.
922
01:17:17,260 --> 01:17:20,060
The man says:
"You smell like garlic."
923
01:17:20,300 --> 01:17:23,140
I say: "Whatever,
you stink of drink."
924
01:17:23,380 --> 01:17:25,180
Do you get what I mean?
925
01:17:25,420 --> 01:17:28,740
I want to be considered a human being
and not an arsehole.
926
01:17:28,980 --> 01:17:32,540
If they don't pay us respect,
we'll have to fight for it.
927
01:17:32,780 --> 01:17:35,420
After the German reunification,
far-right thugs formed groups.
928
01:17:35,660 --> 01:17:38,260
They were active, ready to use violence.
929
01:17:38,580 --> 01:17:42,580
That's how the gangs developed.
It was a way of protecting ourselves.
930
01:17:42,820 --> 01:17:45,420
We said, we won't walk alone anymore,
931
01:17:45,660 --> 01:17:49,580
but only in groups.
Because of the attacks.
932
01:17:49,900 --> 01:17:53,060
And that was really the sign of the times.
933
01:17:53,660 --> 01:17:57,580
36 was all of us. All of us here.
Elders, youngsters, everybody.
934
01:17:58,060 --> 01:18:00,860
Before that, there was
one of the best gangs of all: Şimşekler.
935
01:18:01,140 --> 01:18:04,380
With my uncles, the elders.
They turned everything around.
936
01:18:04,620 --> 01:18:07,020
Because we Turks
kept being beaten up in the past.
937
01:18:07,380 --> 01:18:09,900
We were hit in school,
the Germans would spit at us.
938
01:18:10,300 --> 01:18:12,220
One, two, three: respect!
939
01:18:14,460 --> 01:18:16,460
To Stay Here Is My Right Posse.
940
01:18:17,340 --> 01:18:21,900
- What do you think of life here in 36?
- Very good, but slightly criminal.
941
01:18:22,140 --> 01:18:24,780
- Yeah? But you like it?
- Yes, sure.
942
01:18:25,260 --> 01:18:30,700
Then we asked ourselves,
what kind of a life is this?
943
01:18:32,140 --> 01:18:34,620
36 and Islamic Force.
944
01:18:34,860 --> 01:18:37,020
Islamic Force was the musical part of 36.
945
01:18:39,940 --> 01:18:41,980
We Kreuzberg rappers are
making Kreuzberg famous.
946
01:18:42,380 --> 01:18:46,900
We Kreuzberg rappers drive people crazy.
947
01:18:47,340 --> 01:18:50,820
We make true rap. The others have no idea.
948
01:18:50,940 --> 01:18:51,900
We watch the others.
949
01:18:51,940 --> 01:18:54,700
How are they doing it?
950
01:18:54,940 --> 01:18:57,620
They don't know a thing about rap...
951
01:18:58,180 --> 01:19:01,740
Boe B., Bülent Ipek was our musician.
952
01:19:02,100 --> 01:19:05,340
I was a fighter in the gang back then.
953
01:19:05,620 --> 01:19:08,340
He made the music.
He found me later.
954
01:19:08,700 --> 01:19:10,340
I was already in prison.
955
01:19:10,580 --> 01:19:14,460
He told me, your life will take
a bad turn. Look at what I do.
956
01:19:14,820 --> 01:19:16,740
"Islamic Force",
The whole world is your home.
957
01:19:17,100 --> 01:19:19,580
For the first time,
someone from Germany
958
01:19:19,820 --> 01:19:22,300
said what I felt.
959
01:19:22,660 --> 01:19:25,820
And that was "Black Hair".
That was a real eye-opener.
960
01:19:26,060 --> 01:19:29,860
Cool, you're not alone.
Others are thinking the same.
961
01:19:30,100 --> 01:19:34,100
The first people to also
use oriental samples.
962
01:19:47,460 --> 01:19:50,020
Boe-B taught me things
I couldn't do before.
963
01:19:50,260 --> 01:19:53,020
I didn't even dream of being able to.
964
01:19:53,420 --> 01:19:57,180
He wasn't just a teacher,
he was everything, really.
965
01:19:57,420 --> 01:20:01,020
He was a friend, he would
always get us back on our feet
966
01:20:01,260 --> 01:20:03,460
when we were down.
Boe-B was always there.
967
01:20:03,740 --> 01:20:07,980
He always took time when he saw
little boys who wanted to rap.
968
01:20:08,340 --> 01:20:14,500
He spent hours at youth centres,
rapping with them or writing lyrics.
969
01:20:15,020 --> 01:20:18,460
If we need to tell a story,
in Turkish for Turks,
970
01:20:18,900 --> 01:20:22,580
we should tell a story
that helps somebody.
971
01:20:23,020 --> 01:20:25,540
Or so we can at least say
972
01:20:25,900 --> 01:20:29,020
we did it for the people,
because they couldn't express themselves.
973
01:20:29,780 --> 01:20:33,180
Rap has really helped young people.
The kids gained a perspective.
974
01:20:33,500 --> 01:20:35,420
We rebelled.
975
01:20:35,660 --> 01:20:39,780
Music gave us the opportunity
to present ourselves,
976
01:20:40,020 --> 01:20:41,900
to speak and to be somebody.
977
01:20:49,420 --> 01:20:51,740
Who created hip hop
in the mid-eighties?
978
01:20:51,980 --> 01:20:54,580
The breakdance crews
were full of guest workers' kids.
979
01:20:54,940 --> 01:20:56,260
Why? Because it's free.
980
01:20:56,620 --> 01:20:59,100
There are a lot of Turkish and Kurdish
rappers in Germany.
981
01:20:59,460 --> 01:21:03,020
Such as Karakan, King Size Terror,
Islamic Force, Tec Rock,
982
01:21:03,380 --> 01:21:05,180
Freezing Rockers,
Flying Steps from Berlin,
983
01:21:05,580 --> 01:21:08,020
Kan ve Ter, Karakan, and later, Cartel.
984
01:21:08,500 --> 01:21:10,420
With strong political messages
in their music
985
01:21:10,660 --> 01:21:13,620
and by rapping in Turkish,
the Cartel have given a voice
986
01:21:13,860 --> 01:21:16,940
to the 800,000 Germans
that have a Turkish background.
987
01:21:17,180 --> 01:21:19,220
But they've also become mega-stars
in Turkey itself.
988
01:21:19,660 --> 01:21:21,620
And the lyrics are great.
989
01:21:22,660 --> 01:21:26,580
Because they talk about the youth
here in Germany.
990
01:21:26,860 --> 01:21:29,460
We were born here and grew up here.
991
01:21:29,700 --> 01:21:32,780
We'll never be recognised
as Germans or as Turks.
992
01:21:33,020 --> 01:21:38,180
Not even in Turkey.
"Here come those people from Germany".
993
01:22:21,740 --> 01:22:25,940
At the time when Turkish hip hop
suddenly appeared for the first time...
994
01:22:28,980 --> 01:22:33,020
When I heard it, I called my brother,
played it again, and asked: "What's that?"
995
01:22:33,260 --> 01:22:37,340
He said: "We'll do it too!"
And we began to write raps.
996
01:22:37,580 --> 01:22:40,420
This is Almanya,
I see grey skies, everything's shit here.
997
01:22:40,660 --> 01:22:43,700
We put all our emotions into the music.
998
01:22:43,940 --> 01:22:48,740
During the transition to adolescence.
We were in the middle of puberty.
999
01:22:49,060 --> 01:22:53,380
Emotions and big pimples.
And suddenly the hormones, girls...
1000
01:23:01,020 --> 01:23:06,100
Our next artist has written a song about
a heartbreaking, unhappy love affair.
1001
01:23:06,420 --> 01:23:09,420
He calls his style R'n'B-esque.
1002
01:23:09,780 --> 01:23:12,580
It's a mix of R'n'B and Arabesque.
Completely new!
1003
01:23:12,940 --> 01:23:16,820
He's not only a hit with the Turkish kids.
1004
01:23:17,060 --> 01:23:19,300
He's Muhabbet!
1005
01:23:21,460 --> 01:23:26,820
She's in my arms.
I cannot bear it.
1006
01:23:28,180 --> 01:23:33,900
Her last words were
"I love you", then she left.
1007
01:23:34,820 --> 01:23:36,940
She's in my arms...
1008
01:23:37,340 --> 01:23:41,340
People can buy your CDs anywhere.
It's funny, but that's a problem, right?
1009
01:23:41,700 --> 01:23:45,900
Right. Our kids have never
bought a CD in a German record store.
1010
01:23:46,140 --> 01:23:48,060
They tell us: "I was in the Turkish store,
1011
01:23:48,300 --> 01:23:51,420
and they don't have your CD."
And I say: "But that's normal."
1012
01:23:51,660 --> 01:23:54,620
It seems like a miracle to them,
that a Turkish singer
1013
01:23:55,020 --> 01:23:57,420
can be found
at the normal German retailer's.
1014
01:23:57,660 --> 01:24:00,140
The German stores were run over.
1015
01:24:00,380 --> 01:24:04,220
All of a sudden, hundreds of kids
were in the music departments,
1016
01:24:04,460 --> 01:24:09,180
who for the first time in their lives
went to an autograph session.
1017
01:24:09,420 --> 01:24:12,180
At the end of each session
I had to pay for my own release,
1018
01:24:12,420 --> 01:24:15,220
because none of them knew
they had to pay for the CD.
1019
01:24:15,460 --> 01:24:17,980
The store detectives kept saying:
"Hey, they stole them!"
1020
01:24:18,220 --> 01:24:21,340
I explained: "No, they didn't.
They thought the CDs were for free.
1021
01:24:21,580 --> 01:24:24,820
I had personalised them, like
"For Esra, with love, Muhabbet."
1022
01:24:25,060 --> 01:24:27,940
Written with a permanent marker.
They couldn't return it anyway.
1023
01:24:28,260 --> 01:24:34,500
Muhabbet. Everything that changed,
or was transformed,
1024
01:24:35,020 --> 01:24:36,260
I found that interesting.
1025
01:24:36,500 --> 01:24:39,980
That included Muhabbet's success,
which I thought was wonderful.
1026
01:24:40,220 --> 01:24:42,580
The way he sang, it fit so well.
1027
01:24:42,940 --> 01:24:45,020
It did something with the German language.
1028
01:24:45,260 --> 01:24:48,220
It did something with
the arabesque culture.
1029
01:24:48,460 --> 01:24:52,220
In both directions,
it just went: "Ey, here!"
1030
01:24:52,460 --> 01:24:54,420
And that is what it is now.
1031
01:24:54,740 --> 01:24:55,740
And again!
1032
01:24:55,980 --> 01:24:58,860
She's in my arms...
Everybody!
1033
01:24:59,380 --> 01:25:02,620
- I cannot bear it...
- Louder!
1034
01:25:03,020 --> 01:25:07,780
Her last words were
"I love you", then she left.
1035
01:25:10,460 --> 01:25:12,220
It didn't happen by accident.
1036
01:25:12,700 --> 01:25:17,100
It was inevitable that a "Kanak" would
some day reach a mass audience in German.
1037
01:25:17,580 --> 01:25:21,740
But if I'd known that so many
Turkish musicians, Gurbetci,
1038
01:25:21,980 --> 01:25:25,660
expats, people who lived here,
were producing so much,
1039
01:25:25,900 --> 01:25:29,700
made so much music, landed in the charts,
sold millions of records,
1040
01:25:29,940 --> 01:25:32,260
that would have helped me
finding my identity.
1041
01:25:32,500 --> 01:25:33,980
Now I feel fulfilled.
1042
01:25:34,220 --> 01:25:38,380
I actually belong
to a select circle of expats
1043
01:25:38,660 --> 01:25:40,740
who have made the most of their situation.
1044
01:25:40,980 --> 01:25:43,620
Before, I used to think I was
the first and only one.
1045
01:25:44,180 --> 01:25:46,700
Not us, we've got
enough hardships for ourselves.
1046
01:25:47,020 --> 01:25:50,540
I don't need people
who are hostile towards us.
1047
01:25:51,060 --> 01:25:54,060
Kanak for life, kanak for life.
1048
01:25:54,820 --> 01:25:56,380
My hood, my blocks.
1049
01:25:56,620 --> 01:25:58,220
Everything's mine.
1050
01:25:58,580 --> 01:26:01,020
Kanak for life, kanak for life.
1051
01:26:01,420 --> 01:26:06,260
Finally, this tradition is broken.
We also built cultural bridges.
1052
01:26:06,500 --> 01:26:10,020
The German kids
can even talk a bit of Turkish slang.
1053
01:26:10,260 --> 01:26:13,700
And Arabic slang.
And sometimes you can see a German kid
1054
01:26:14,060 --> 01:26:16,220
on TikTok saying:
"Alhamdulillah, I'm doing good."
1055
01:26:16,580 --> 01:26:19,180
A cultural crossover has taken place.
1056
01:26:19,660 --> 01:26:22,460
With me, it was radio listener Heinrich,
age 57 from Bremen,
1057
01:26:22,820 --> 01:26:24,820
calling the radio station and saying:
1058
01:26:25,180 --> 01:26:28,500
"If you play that howling one more time,
I'm never listening again!"
1059
01:26:29,140 --> 01:26:31,660
That's the kind of feedback
I got from the mainstream.
1060
01:26:32,140 --> 01:26:35,340
I believe the story will always continue.
1061
01:26:35,620 --> 01:26:39,220
There's one connection.
And that's racism.
1062
01:26:39,580 --> 01:26:40,660
It's racism.
1063
01:26:40,900 --> 01:26:44,740
Racism leads people to resist,
1064
01:26:44,980 --> 01:26:49,020
to start to rebel
in different kinds of ways.
1065
01:26:49,260 --> 01:26:51,740
The result is not always
1066
01:26:52,060 --> 01:26:55,980
politically correct, anti-racist rap.
1067
01:26:56,860 --> 01:27:00,260
The moment of racism is important
1068
01:27:00,740 --> 01:27:03,740
because it motivates you to say:
1069
01:27:03,980 --> 01:27:07,300
I'm here, I'm here to stay, so fuck you.
1070
01:27:22,780 --> 01:27:25,940
Send me the karaoke.
1071
01:27:33,100 --> 01:27:34,340
Yes.
1072
01:27:38,060 --> 01:27:42,060
Oh-oh, by the time it gets started,
the battery will be empty.
1073
01:27:43,060 --> 01:27:45,860
The bluetooth device is ready to pair.
1074
01:27:46,100 --> 01:27:47,220
So?
1075
01:27:49,860 --> 01:27:51,260
Dede, hand me a cigarette.
1076
01:28:26,260 --> 01:28:29,620
This is where I learned to ride a bike
and first fell in love.
1077
01:28:29,860 --> 01:28:31,820
My school was over there.
1078
01:28:32,220 --> 01:28:38,660
I plunged into the world of music
in this park.
1079
01:28:39,780 --> 01:28:42,500
It is very precious to me.
1080
01:28:43,140 --> 01:28:45,020
Is it my turn?
1081
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:49,620
I'll start from the beginning.
1082
01:28:50,500 --> 01:28:52,740
Now we're stuck.
1083
01:28:54,180 --> 01:28:57,180
I'll make it short, then
you can do what you like.
1084
01:28:57,180 --> 01:28:59,940
Wait your turn. Have you got enough film?
1085
01:29:00,180 --> 01:29:04,380
- He's going to start with kindergarten.
- See, they're always like that.
1086
01:29:05,100 --> 01:29:09,900
Our friends are good musicians.
We're hanging out, listening to music.
1087
01:29:10,180 --> 01:29:12,860
We're entertaining ourselves a bit.
1088
01:29:13,580 --> 01:29:15,100
That's all.
1089
01:29:15,860 --> 01:29:22,060
For twenty years at least,
we've played live music here.
1090
01:29:22,860 --> 01:29:26,660
Everyone likes it.
And we're thankful for it.
1091
01:29:27,820 --> 01:29:31,020
And we'll keep on going,
what else can I say, my friends?
1092
01:29:31,580 --> 01:29:33,340
Life goes on.
1093
01:29:33,820 --> 01:29:35,700
40 years of friendship.
1094
01:29:35,980 --> 01:29:41,020
40 years of walking through the grass,
eating and drinking together.
1095
01:29:41,540 --> 01:29:45,140
Watch the wacky people
and take care of the healthy.
1096
01:29:45,620 --> 01:29:49,100
Not everyone can do that.
1097
01:29:49,860 --> 01:29:52,820
The park means everything to us.
1098
01:29:53,500 --> 01:29:58,060
We are sitting in the garden
from which Adam was expelled.
1099
01:30:33,460 --> 01:30:35,220
Come home with me tonight.
1100
01:30:36,660 --> 01:30:38,020
He understood, he's laughing.
1101
01:30:50,180 --> 01:30:51,620
That's it.
1102
01:36:14,860 --> 01:36:17,340
Can you imagine
if I played on the moon
1103
01:36:17,580 --> 01:36:21,340
and looked down to Earth
while I was playing, and recorded it?
1104
01:36:21,660 --> 01:36:24,660
What would I play at that moment?
1105
01:36:30,380 --> 01:36:31,660
What do you see, Ismet Abi?
1106
01:36:31,700 --> 01:36:34,860
I see the stars.
There's nothing else to see.
1107
01:36:35,180 --> 01:36:37,060
It's so beautiful.
1108
01:36:38,500 --> 01:36:41,260
You feel so pure and free.
1109
01:36:42,980 --> 01:36:48,380
You see how fragile the world is.
1110
01:36:48,620 --> 01:36:52,380
It's so elegant and fragile.
1111
01:36:53,140 --> 01:36:57,500
As though it might burst when
you touch it, this giant world.
