Tears of Cem Karaca is a moving exploration of the life and legacy of Cem Karaca (1945–2004), the Anatolian rock legend whose music often carried powerful political messages and was a soundtrack to political and social change. His unwavering commitment to justice and equality made him an icon of his time, and his legacy continues to inspire generations today. This biopic delves into the lesser-known facets of Karaca’s life, exploring the triumphs, challenges, and passions that fueled his career. From the heights of fame to the depths of exile, Cem Karaca’s story is one of resilience and passion.
