TURKEY 🇹🇷
Responsible for Turkey’s only victory at the Eurovision Song Contest, singer Sertab Erener is currently recording for a documentary about her more than 30 years of music career. However, the singer has recently expressed her intention to record a new documentary exclusively dedicated to her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. “We have recorded every concert in the last few years and are ready to make the documentary Sertab: The Musical. I also hope to be able to make a documentary about Everyway That I Can and the whole Eurovision process. But that takes a lot of time.”
