Children of September

---

Summary

Five young people, four cities (Berlin, Copenhagen, Zurich and Paris). Everyone of them was born in a different region of Turkey. What their biographies have in common is the fact that their families had gone through the violence of the putsch on 12th September 1980.

 

How do the children who hanging on to their families apron strings had to emigrate to those countries live today? Are they, as were their parents, involved in politics? Do they have some special characteristics which make them the “Children of September”?

 

A documentary film about the military putsch in Turkey on 12th September 1980 from the view of five eyewitnesses.
