My Name Is Happy
October Films’ Grierson Award-winning documentary for Channel 4 tells the story of Mutlu Kaya, a Kurdish teenager from southeast Turkey who reached the finals of Turkey’s Got Talent before being shot in the head by a man she had rejected. Mutlu survived with life-changing injuries and a bullet still in her brain. When her sister Dilek was later killed by her boyfriend, Mutlu turned to TikTok and her 1.5 million followers to campaign against femicide, finding her voice again through a defiant protest song. Premiered at IDFA.
