I chose this clip after the discussion we had in class on Wednesday about the appropriateness of calling the Turkish “guest” workers when they were in fact not guests at all. I thought this short clip from the beginning of the film truly shed light on that fact and helped me better understand the context of our discussion. In my gif you can see the “guest” workers entering Germany and being inspected like an animal almost. They are being numbered and made to remove their clothing. While Almanya was a more lighthearted recount of this time in history, this first scene or two expresses the notion that these people weren’t “guests” so much as a menial labor force.
