This is a one-hour documentary on the largely unknown Turkish community in Lebanon, which currently numbers approximately 80,000 people, and is spread through Beirut, Baalbek, Akkar, and Tripoli. This documentary shed light on the social and economic situation of this community, which has existed in Lebanon since the fall of the Ottoman Empire. We travel from villages that are essentially Turkish to families scattered across the country; their stories come together forming an often moving and sometimes shocking narrative of this community dealing with immigration, deportation, adaptation and marginalization.
