About We Have Forgotten to Return Home
Fatih Akin sets out in search of his family roots and paints a portrait of his Turkish family. In 1965, his father came to Germany from Turkey to try his luck as a guest worker. He actually only wanted to stay for two years, but then he brought his wife to Hamburg and still works today in the chemical cleaning factory where he found a job back then.
Directed by Fatih Akin, We Have Forgotten to Return Home leans on a strong ensemble — Fatih Akin, Mustafa Enver Akin, Cem Akin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2001.
