Die Rueckkehr der Aramaeer
Directed by Anja Reiß2012 60m
Tur Abdin is the name of the motherland of the Aramean Christians in south Turkey, not far from the Syrian border. It used to be one of the first settlement areas of the Christians, but now the Christians are a small minority here. Most Aramean Christians escaped from the war, violence and repression, to Germany. Now some exiled Arameans want to return from Goeppingen to south-eastern Turkey to save their cultural heritage and to rebuild the destroyed villages. We follow them on their way to the motherland and document the struggle for the saving of the millenary old culture.
