In The Country of the Hamam
Encounters in unfamiliar Turkey
Close-up pictures of a world so far undiscovered: Authentic, first-hand portrayals show Turkey beyond mass tourism and clichés.
Those who want to get to know a country must get to know its people. There are only few countries in the world who have so much to do with each other and yet know so little of each other than Germany and Turkey. Dieter Sauter, an ARD correspondent of many years, takes us on a trip through an unfamiliar country of great variety: To a Sheik far in the east, to a shepherd high up in the mountains of Anatolia and to a fashion designer at the Bosporus. His tells us stories, for instance about the life of the owner of a Hamam, a master-builder of water pipes, a female professor, a disc jockey, a female treasure diver, a thief and a female dervish.
