In her documentaries Girls On The Pitch (Mädchen am Ball, 1995) and After the Game(Nach dem Spiel, 1997) Aysun Bademsoy followed five young Turkish girls from Berlin-Kreuzberg, who belonged to the successful Turkish football team “BSC Agrispor”. Thirteen years ago Safiye, Arzu, Türkan, Nalan, and Nazan spoke of their dreams to become professionals, but as well about their difficulties regarding finding their place between Turkish culture, their parents, and their own dreams. Today they are captured between their families and at their workplaces, and all the strength and hope for a better future seem to be gone.
