The Turkish Wave #trailer

Turkish citizens are illegally crossing the EU border to claim asylum abroad, highlighting a new wave of immigration to the EU. This is a new trend that has been on the rise due to the country's economic meltdown.

Country’s skyrocketing inflation and rising unemployment rate force the working class to seek hope abroad.

People organise on TikTok, spend thousands of euros, arrange deals with smugglers at popular cafes around Subotika, meet in a Serbian forest and spend weeks to pass to the other side. The forest which is located at the European border houses thousands of Turkish citizens waiting for the right time to pass into Hungary.

Thanks to JournalismFund's support, we were able to investigate the phonemona on the field.
