Çürük - The Pink Report

synopsis:
Ulrike Böhnisch's impressive documentary "Çürük" is a tinder box: an intense, entirely anonymous recording of the mortifying procedure used by the Turkish military to make it possible for gay men to exempt themselves from military service. The humiliation includes pyschological tests, anal examinations and the photographical proof of gay sex. The impact on gay men's self-esteem becomes more than obvious, when one of the protagonists doubtfully asks: "Do you think I'm a real man?"
