Spielerinnen

A film by Aysun Bademsoy. In German & Turkish with Turkish and German subtitles

Aysun Bademsoy’s long-term observation of Turkish female soccer players in Berlin-Kreuzberg focuses on the next generation 30 years after their first encounter. Born and raised in Germany, they still ask themselves the question: Do we really feel accepted here? It seems as if a cultural rift still defines their lives. Referring back to the 1990s, their mothers today reminisce about a youth in which the game of soccer provided the space for emancipation.
