A friend sent me this.  It is a short movie by Sinan Cetin who stealthily 
relates it to the forbiddance of the Kurdish language and music in Turkey.  He 
uses a parallel funny incident by the Kemal followers in the 30's.  It is called 
'Be happy.  It's an order' and it takes place in Anatolia in 1934.
I found it to be brilliant, particularly the tsifteteli at the end (a type of song that is also quite popular in Greece). I hope you enjoy it.
