Synopsis

‘My Name is Happy’ tells the inspirational story of a Kurdish teenager, Mutlu Kaya, from a remote community in Bakûr. Aged 19, stardom beckoned when she reached the finals of Turkey’s Got Talent. Days later, she was shot by a man trying to abduct her. Mutlu survived, but with life-changing injuries and a bullet in her brain. Despite her life-changing injuries, Mutlu relentlessly campaigns for women’s rights in Turkey and beyond.
