Description

For centuries the people of a village in the Blacksea coast of Turkey and the surrounding area have used whistling to communicate.

This documentary shows how “Uncle” Orhan, one of the more elderly villagers, has kept the age-old tradition alive by teaching the whistling language to local children.
