BLUE ID, TR 2022 – Director: Burcu Melekoğlu, Vuslat Karan

During his gender reassignment, Rüzgar, an actor, was publicly
outed and vilified by the transphobic Turkish tabloid press. With
a strong will and steady support, he fights for the recognition
of his identity within the dominant conservative blue/pink
framework. In lively Istanbul, Burcu Melekoğlu accompanies him on
this long journey that leaves you little room to breathe.
