Callshop Istanbul (2015)
Directed by Sami Mermer, Hind Benchekroun
Documentary
Istanbul, a crossroads of Europe and Asia, serves as a gateway for migrants from Africa and the Middle East to Europe. Syrian and Iraqi refugees, cosmopolitan youth, disillusioned Arab Spring supporters, and undocumented migrants from Black Africa gather in the city’s callshops, which are vital links to their home countries. The film captures the conversations and emotionally charged moments in these callshops, offering a powerful testament to the migrant experience in the 21st century.
