Kemal moved from Turkey to Australia at 12. Four years on, school is still tough, not because he can’t keep up, but because the language doesn’t always land. With his Turkish mates, communication is easy – they share faith, culture and a sense of humour. At home, Kemal helps translate for his parents and looks after his younger sisters.
KEMAL – A TURKISH BOY is a grounded and thoughtful portrait of growing up between worlds, and the quiet strength it takes to carry more than one identity at once.
