YOUNG WRESTLERS
a documentary by Mete Gümürhan
  
|
DCP/HD - 2016 - The Netherlands/Turkey - 90min
Original language: Turkish
Produced by Kaliber Film (Aydin Dehzad and Aslı Akdağ)
The 26 boys living at the sports academy in the Turkish province of Amasya will endure a lot to realize their wrestling dream. In Young Wrestlers, they face the usual challenges of adolescence in a male dominated environment and contradictory contemporary Turkey. The camera remains observational and discreet while still allowing us to experience their everyday life at close range – somewhere between camaraderie and competition.
