One of the alleged rescuers profiled in the film, Behiç Erkin, was a perpetrator of the Armenian genocide. Thousands of expatriate Turkish Jews were deported to the death camps because their citizenship was denied by Turkish officials, but this fact is never mentioned in the film. Only one Turkish diplomat, Selahattin Ülkümen, has been recognized as Righteous Among the Nations, but he is not covered in the film.
Travel writer Simon Reeve embarks upon two long-distance journeys across Turkey, exploring this dramatic and beautiful country that now finds itself at the centre of world events.
"This is where everything was happening, where ships were coming in. There is Asia, there is Europe," he pointed out while standing on the shores of the famous city. "This is the place you feel the energy. This is what I am living for – visiting this place, meeting the people in all these places and telling their stories." We’re a news channel so we’re looking for stories that are topical, timely and relevant – particularly to Turkey and the Middle East. We encourage proposals which counter mainstream narratives and stories that reveal new perspectives on the Muslim world.
The film not only illustrates the diversity of music in Istanbul; it offers a comprehensive description of the metropolis at all levels, including the history, the people and their lives stuck somewhere between the east and the west. Highly recommended, especially if you are in love with Turkish or Mediterranean music. Preferring documentaries instead of books, he believes people who have or do live in Istanbul have both contributed and benefited from its unique, chaotic atmosphere and diverse culture. To showcase this, Mert has picked his favourite documentaries about Istanbul that tell a story worth watching. On January 24, the premiere of Gleis 11 took place at Essen's Lichtburg, Germany's largest movie theater. An online premiere was also held, and so many people logged on to watch the film that the server of Yüksel's website crashed.
