Istanbul.
0:04
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Those that love life at a faster pace will be right at home here.
0:08
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The city has a beautiful rhythm.
0:11
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It makes you happy.
0:12
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The city on the Bosporus Strait,
0:16
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
brimming with cats and chaos.
0:18
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Try to fight it and you go under.
0:21
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It flows through everything here.
0:23
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Politics,
0:24
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
prosperity and people.
0:25
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I find it very pretty sometimes and very disturbing at
0:29
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
other times.
0:30
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
But I like the...
0:33
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The tension.
0:34
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Not Turkey's capital,
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
yet still a great city of the world.
0:38
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It represents at the same time thousands of years of history and Turkey
0:42
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
at its most modern.
0:43
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Do you know what we sell?
0:45
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
We don't sell drinks,
0:46
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
we don't sell music,
0:47
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
we sell sex.
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
And that spanning two continents,
0:50
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Europe and Asia.
0:52
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
15 million people
0:56
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
live shoulder to shoulder here,
0:58
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
with more on the way.
0:59
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's a demanding life.
1:03
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Istanbul means living,
1:04
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it means earning money,
1:06
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it means struggle.
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Where religion meets big business,
1:11
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
this city is dazzling,
1:13
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
proud and desperate.
1:14
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
If just one of the things we
1:18
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
deal with every day happened anywhere else,
1:21
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
people would lose it.
1:22
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Instead,
1:24
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the people of Istanbul have learned to ride the waves of chaos,
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
an ability that's maybe needed most of all when night falls on
1:32
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the city.
1:51
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The Blue Mosque.
1:52
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It stands in calm defiance of the evening rush and the passage
1:56
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
of centuries.
1:57
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Sultan Ahmed I had it built with six minarets
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
instead of the typical four.
2:03
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The splendorous building attracts several million tourists every year.
2:07
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The Imam can greet visitors from all over the world in their own
2:11
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
language.
2:12
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
There was a German here crying.
2:16
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I said,
2:17
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
why are you crying?
2:18
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
He said,
2:19
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I'm just so moved by this place.
2:21
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The Blue Mosque is famous well beyond Istanbul.
2:25
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's the entire country's Islamic centerpiece.
2:29
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The separation of religion and state was enshrined in
2:33
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the Constitution in 1937 by the Republic's founding father,
2:37
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Mustafa Atatürk.
2:39
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The current leaders,
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
though, would like to see people back in the mosques.
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It may not be apparent while here,
2:45
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
but Islam,
2:46
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
like other world religions,
2:47
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
is struggling with the shortage of new followers.
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Before becoming a voice of the Blue Mosque,
2:54
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
muezzins go through a strict selection process.
2:57
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
When Askin Musa Tuncha was accepted,
3:00
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
his parents were less than thrilled.
3:06
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Over the years,
3:07
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the professions of muizin or imam have unfortunately come to be considered
3:11
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
low -income jobs.
3:12
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
That's why my father and mother,
3:15
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
even my friends,
3:16
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
put pressure on me.
3:17
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
How could I give up my university lecturer position to become a
3:21
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
muizin?
3:22
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Was I out of my mind?
3:29
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
According to legend,
3:30
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
blind muezzins were once especially favored.
3:33
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Even high above the city,
3:35
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
there was no chance they might accidentally see something unchaste.
3:38
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
In the past,
3:43
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the call to prayer was made from up on the minarets.
3:45
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Oh, I've got to go.
3:46
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Don't want to miss the call.
3:47
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The Ottoman -era building has
3:51
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
a touch of the modern these days.
3:55
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Back then there was no electricity.
3:57
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The call to prayer came from the top of each tower.
4:00
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Now with microphones,
4:01
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
we don't need to climb up there anymore.
4:03
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
With
4:14
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
over 3 ,000 mosques,
4:16
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the Muazin's call to prayer washes over almost every other noise
4:20
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
in Istanbul.
4:21
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It sets the rhythm of Turkish life.
4:24
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Their voices ring out across the megacity all through
4:28
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the night.
4:28
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
There
4:32
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
are 41 ,000 taxi drivers here.
4:36
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
One of them is also a photographer on the side.
4:39
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
When I
4:44
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
get into my taxi at night,
4:45
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I never know what to expect,
4:47
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
what's coming my way.
4:48
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Everything's left a chance,
4:51
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
especially the photography.
5:00
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Spots behind the city's glittering facade.
5:02
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Good evening.
5:03
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Good evening.
5:04
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
One
5:09
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
night shift, please.
5:10
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The taxi driver is able to move
5:14
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
beyond the picture -perfect Istanbul while working to find and photograph
5:18
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the people who would never be put in travel brochures.
5:21
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
They're barely noticeable in the hustle and
5:25
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
bustle of daytime,
5:26
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
but at night you see them,
5:28
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the true owners of the streets,
5:30
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the homeless.
5:33
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
For over 20 years,
5:34
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shevket has been taking portraits of the people the city's forgotten.
5:38
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
More and more often,
5:39
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
he's now seeing entire families living on the streets.
5:42
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Many know the 59 -year -old and his camera already.
5:46
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
For those who don't,
5:48
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
a compliment often breaks the ice.
5:50
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Hi,
5:53
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
you're from Samson?
5:54
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
You have the face of an angel.
5:56
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I've been on the street for 40 years.
5:59
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Seriously?
5:59
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shevket wants to draw attention to
6:04
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
those the city left behind.
6:07
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Let me take a picture of you.
6:08
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Poverty
6:14
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
is on the rise in Turkey's richest city.
6:17
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
A bitter reality in the shadow of grand
6:21
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
promises.
6:22
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I'll
6:27
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
leave you a few cigarettes.
6:28
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I've got plenty.
6:28
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I've got some.
6:31
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
All right then.
6:32
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shevket watches and he listens.
6:35
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Sometimes all it takes is a conversation the length of a cigarette to get
6:39
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
to know someone.
6:43
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I'm looking for jobs here and there.
6:45
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Thank God,
6:46
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
people also give me bread and food.
6:47
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Yes,
6:50
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
in our culture,
6:51
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
people are good with that.
6:52
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
If you need something,
6:53
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
if you're hungry,
6:54
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
they'll give you something.
6:55
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
May I take a picture of you smoking?
6:57
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
You can.
7:00
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
With a cigarette.
7:01
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shevket
7:06
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
exhibits his photos to try and wake people up to the reality on the streets.
7:10
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
He's even been recognized abroad for them.
7:13
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
His work doesn't bring in any money,
7:15
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
but that's not the point for him.
7:17
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
He wants viewers to pause and for politicians to look for
7:21
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
solutions.
7:21
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Chef Kit's search will lead
7:25
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
him deeper into the night.
7:27
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Our next appointment is already waiting.
7:29
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shukru Kibar is treading new ground in
7:34
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
high heels.
7:34
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
He trained as
7:38
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
a choreographer on Broadway in New York.
7:47
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Now he's revolutionizing Istanbul's dance scene.
7:51
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Whenever I'm in
7:55
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
New York, they're like,
7:56
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
you teach in high heels in Istanbul?
7:58
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Oh yes.
8:00
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I've been teaching for eight or nine years.
8:02
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I'm good at it.
8:04
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
And I've never had any problems.
8:05
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
His courses in the Biolo district
8:10
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
are very popular.
8:11
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
That probably wouldn't be the case in any other Turkish city.
8:15
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Chop, chop,
8:16
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
places.
8:16
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Time to start.
8:17
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
We all want to go home.
8:19
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Some of us have dates to get to.
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Such people still exist?
8:24
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
My last one turned out to be straight.
8:26
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shukru is from
8:30
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Anatolia,
8:31
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
in the east.
8:32
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
He grew up in a conservative small town in the heart of Turkey.
8:36
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
There was no dancing in
8:40
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
his parents' house.
8:41
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
And certainly not like this.
8:46
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
and come around with the hips.
8:47
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Even
8:52
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
still.
8:53
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
My mother
8:57
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
likes every single video of mine and writes comments underneath.
9:00
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
She says,
9:02
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I'm so glad you're my son.
9:04
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
If you were anyone else's son,
9:06
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I'd be very jealous.
9:12
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Not everyone here has a family who are such enthusiastic fans.
9:16
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
We ask
9:21
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Yamur what life is like as a Turkish woman.
9:23
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's hard.
9:28
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Should I tell the truth?
9:31
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's hard to
9:36
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
be yourself.
9:42
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
That's why we feel so comfortable here.
9:45
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The dancers
9:49
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
are training for their next performance,
9:51
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
celebrating their femininity.
9:53
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's a rare freedom.
9:55
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Especially at night,
9:57
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
many feel unsafe.
10:00
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
There's been a rise in reported assaults on women in Istanbul.
10:03
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
With Shukru,
10:07
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
they find a safe place to be themselves and a lot of self -confidence.
10:11
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's
10:16
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
changed her life,
10:17
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Melissa says.
10:18
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
She's been coming here for eight years.
10:22
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
For the longest time,
10:23
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Turkish women were brought up strapped into a social corset.
10:27
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
They're gradually liberating themselves.
10:30
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Finding their true selves,
10:32
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
we're in a phase of becoming more self -confident and freer.
10:36
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
All that despite the conservative
10:40
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
forces running the country.
10:42
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Some men also find a sense of freedom in Shukru's
10:46
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
classes.
10:50
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
In the society we live in,
10:52
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
men aren't allowed to show their feminine side.
10:55
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It can't fully open up.
10:57
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I feel that energy within me and I want
11:01
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
to express it.
11:02
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It seems to me I'm doing a pretty good job too.
11:05
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shukru
11:12
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
is a successful dance teacher,
11:14
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
performer and choreographer.
11:16
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
But he's not finished yet.
11:26
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Because I wear high heels,
11:27
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I'm always a bit of an outsider in Turkey.
11:30
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
But I want to achieve so much success that,
11:33
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
and now my national pride is showing,
11:35
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
that my country is proud of me too.
11:37
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
That everyone claps their hands and says,
11:40
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
that Turk made it.
11:45
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
By 9 in the evening,
11:46
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the class is over.
11:48
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shukru has to leave.
11:50
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
He still has that date to get to and he's invited us along.
11:54
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Istanbul is the traffic
11:58
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
jam capital of the world.
11:59
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
In 2024,
12:01
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
people spent on average 105 hours stuck in traffic
12:05
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
here.
12:05
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's constantly stop,
12:07
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
full throttle and go.
12:09
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
At the traffic control center,
12:11
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Ali Akuzu and his colleagues have to somehow keep track of it all.
12:18
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Driving in Istanbul means using every opportunity in the chaos to
12:22
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
assert yourself.
12:23
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
If you can do that,
12:24
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
you can deal with traffic anywhere in the world.
12:26
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
They
12:31
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
say a city's psychology is reflected in its traffic.
12:33
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Driving behavior here is growing more and more aggressive.
12:37
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The population has tripled in the past 40 years and the number
12:41
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
of vehicles keeps growing.
12:44
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
In the control center,
12:45
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
they adjust traffic lights,
12:46
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
send out roadside assistance,
12:48
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
and prepare for emergencies.
12:50
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Earthquakes are also part of the city's history.
12:54
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Everyone knows a once -in -a -century earthquake is on the horizon.
12:58
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's only a question of when.
13:00
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Probably soon,
13:02
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the scientists say.
13:03
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Around 600 ,000 houses are at risk of collapse.
13:10
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
None of us wants that,
13:11
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
but still, yes,
13:12
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it's the reality.
13:13
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
We're the last outpost,
13:15
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
so to speak.
13:15
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
When something like that happens,
13:17
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
we can see the whole city and direct the rescue teams.
13:20
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
We can see which buildings have collapsed and where the routes are blocked.
13:23
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Even
13:29
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
without a natural disaster,
13:30
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the 36 ,000 kilometers of roads are constantly congested.
13:39
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I prefer public transportation.
13:41
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Why?
13:42
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
There's so much traffic,
13:43
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
that's why.
13:44
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Good
13:48
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
evening, control center.
13:49
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
How can I help you?
13:50
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Drivers can call the control center directly.
13:54
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Sometimes it's about a breakdown.
13:57
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Often it's about cats on the road.
13:59
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Right now,
14:01
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it's a different issue that keeps being reported.
14:03
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
We're talking about the first Bosporus bridge,
14:07
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
right?
14:12
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The lights on the first bridge aren't on.
14:14
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The landmarks are concerned.
14:17
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The power company has scheduled work for 15 days.
14:20
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Seems they're not finished.
14:22
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
There it is,
14:25
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
unusually dark.
14:26
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The first built of Istanbul's three bridges that connect Europe
14:30
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
and Asia.
14:31
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's 64 meters high,
14:33
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
so warships and giant cruise liners can pass underneath.
14:38
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
And here they are,
14:39
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the men and women who are making the bridge shine again.
14:42
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
They've already replaced the light bulbs.
14:45
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Now they have some corrosion to tackle.
14:47
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
17 workers paint night after night,
14:51
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
pillar by pillar,
14:53
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
ensuring people will have the view to enjoy for many years to come.
15:00
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
As an in -paint is dry,
15:01
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the power can be switched back on.
15:03
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Its
15:09
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
official name is the July 15 Martyrs Bridge.
15:12
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
In 2016,
15:14
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
during an attempted coup,
15:16
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
tanks faced off against loyalists to the president.
15:19
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Ever since,
15:21
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it's been a political symbol for the city.
15:23
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
For
15:29
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
structural engineer Hamza Erman,
15:32
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it's the most beautiful place in the world to be working.
15:39
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
You have a very beautiful view while you're working.
15:42
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Everything around you is full of life.
15:44
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Of course,
15:45
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the job's not without its problems,
15:47
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
but when you stand on the bridge and look around,
15:49
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it really takes your breath away.
15:51
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Many night shifts
15:55
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
and 50 ,000 litres of paint later,
15:57
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it's complete.
15:59
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Work went well.
16:03
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Were you able to finish?
16:05
S… Speaker 5 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Any problems?
16:05
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
No,
16:07
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
everything went to plan,
16:08
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
my friend.
16:08
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Even
16:13
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
from far off,
16:14
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it shows.
16:15
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Resplendent again,
16:17
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the pride of Istanbul's bridges.
16:19
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
At
16:24
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
almost the exact same time,
16:25
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the bright lights are coming up for a different reason.
16:28
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Five kilometers away,
16:30
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
in the Levant Commercial District,
16:32
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it's
16:36
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Selin Gotchit's final soundcheck.
16:39
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
She's currently shaking up Istanbul's indie pop scene.
16:43
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
After months in the studio,
16:44
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
she's finally giving a live performance and she has something special
16:49
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
planned.
16:58
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shukru has made it right on time.
17:00
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Without the high heels,
17:02
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
but with plenty of positive energy,
17:04
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
he's here to support the singer.
17:06
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
He's not just her choreographer,
17:08
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
he's also Selin's bestie.
17:11
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
She's
17:16
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
incredible and has a wonderful voice.
17:19
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
How long have we known each other?
17:20
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Since childhood.
17:21
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I was
17:26
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
about 16 years old and went to my first dance class.
17:28
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
And Shukru was there.
17:30
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
He was dancing in the front row.
17:32
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
And I thought,
17:33
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
wow, that's a cool guy.
17:34
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I wonder if he'd want to be friends with me.
17:37
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
We've been inseparable ever since.
17:41
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Selin commutes between London and Istanbul.
17:44
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
She's building up her music career on the Thames,
17:47
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
but she doesn't want to give up her connection to the Bosporus.
17:50
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shukru knows that tension himself between
17:54
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
better opportunities abroad and the sense of home.
18:01
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Within Turkey,
18:03
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Istanbul is,
18:04
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
of course, the city with the most opportunities and chances
18:08
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
to follow your own path.
18:10
S… Speaker 7 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's a very lively city.
18:13
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It never rests.
18:14
S… Speaker 7 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Suddenly,
18:18
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it's clear why this evening is so special.
18:20
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Pop icon Sertab Erener is making
18:24
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
a guest appearance at Selin's concert.
18:28
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Sertab Erener is a living legend.
18:30
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
She won the Eurovision Song Contest for Turkey in 2003.
18:34
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
If we get talking about the love and respect I feel for her,
18:38
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
we'll never finish.
18:39
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
She's always reinventing herself.
18:41
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Selin
18:50
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
often covers songs by Sertab Erener.
18:52
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Tonight the audience can sing along to both the original and
18:56
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the tribute.
18:57
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
The crowd
19:09
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
knows every line by heart.
19:16
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Music in the West also draws from important and beautiful
19:20
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
origins, jazz or blues,
19:22
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
for example.
19:22
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
In Turkey,
19:24
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
that's folk music.
19:25
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It's so rich and deeply rooted in our country.
19:29
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Around
19:34
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
midnight, the Nighthawks really take flight.
19:36
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
We're back with Şevket.
19:40
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
He says political decisions are making life in the megacity increasingly
19:44
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
tense.
19:44
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Once,
19:47
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it was a city you could look at all day.
19:49
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
In the last 20 or 25 years,
19:53
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
though, they haven't left a single green space.
20:00
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
anything that's green.
20:01
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
In 2013,
20:05
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
when one of the last few parks was to make way for a major construction
20:09
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
project,
20:10
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
protests swept across the entire country.
20:13
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Gezi Park and Taksim Square have since become symbols
20:17
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
of ongoing dissatisfaction with the Erdogan government.
20:21
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Shevket is treating himself to a
20:25
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
serving of pilaf,
20:26
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
rice with chickpeas and chicken.
20:29
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
It fills you up and doesn't cost much.
20:32
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Soul food that's a part of Istanbul,
20:34
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
just like Shevket.
20:35
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)

Asia or Europe,
20:40

and the taxi driver simply answers,
20:42
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
as long as there's water.
20:44
S… Speaker 3 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)

Off
21:07
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)

The public transportation network is constantly expanding.
22:06

It's supposed to save the megacity from a looming traffic collapse.
22:10
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
For Gizem,
22:12
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
traveling at top speed,
22:13
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
120 kilometers an hour has something almost meditative about
22:17
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
it. Sometimes
22:25
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
in the intensity and chaos of the city,
22:27
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
you want to be alone for a bit.
22:29
S… Speaker 6 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
That's why there's something relaxing about our work.
22:36
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
On weekends,
22:37
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the subway runs around the clock.

S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
the party -goers to the clubs.

there are plenty of free seats,
22:48
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
if only for a short while.
22:50
S… Speaker 4 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Up the metro
22:54
S… Speaker 2 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)

The hall in the industrial area is still empty.

All the same...

S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
When I'm on the road,
23:18
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
I miss the chaos.
23:19
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Istanbul really is a very chaotic city,
23:22
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
and I think its beauty lies exactly in that.
23:25
S… Speaker 1 (Istanbul - A journey through the megacity - DW Documentary)
Can you help me to start loving
