LOVE, D-MARK AND DEATH (Aşk, Mark ve Ölüm) by Cem Kaya. Documentary

In the early 1960s, the so-called “Gastarbeiter:innen” (guest workers) from Anatolia and other areas of Turkey were recruited by the Federal Republic of Germany. From the beginning, there was something that always accompanied them and was part of their culture: their music – a piece of home in a foreign land. Over the years, independent musical directions developed in Germany, which did not exist in this form in the mother country. This unprecedented story of an independent musical culture of immigrants from Turkey, their children and grandchildren in Germany, is told in the exciting cinema documentary “Aşk Mark ve Ölüm”.
