Mein Vater, der Gastarbeiter

In the organizer's words:

Content:

In his autobiographical documentary, Kurdish director Yüksel Yavuz paints a sensitive portrait of his father. From 1968 onwards, he worked for 15 years as a so-called guest worker at a Hamburg shipyard without ever really feeling at home in Germany. After fifteen years of hard work, he finally returned to his home village. The film vividly illuminates the familial and social dimensions of labor migration as well as biographical narratives in this context.

Background:
The event is organized by the Competence Center for Studies and Teaching (KSL) of the EvH Bochum in cooperation with UniverCity e.V. Bochum. Following the film screening, we will embark on a socio-political search for clues: Where do we find the themes of the film in our current debates in politics and society?
There will be a moderated discussion with the director Yüksel Yavuz and Prof. Dr. Çinur Ghaderi. The evening will be moderated by Prof. Dr. Narku Laing.
