Turkey

Programme Outline

Ali lives in Datça (pronounced ‘Ducha’) on the Aegean coast of Turkey opposite the Greek island of Simi. His father is a fisherman and Ali himself keeps pigeons. His favourite is called Snow White. We join Ali at school and take part in an earthquake practice. Later, Ali goes fishing with his father. During the trip, he releases Snow White who fails to return. In the evening, we share in the family’s evening meal during which Snow White returns with a message from a Greek boy called Stefanos attached to his leg. The programme ends with Ali sending a return message to his new friend.
