Istanbul Streets: I Hear Music

Istanbul's street vendors chant their last songs amid the city's gentrification.

I Hear Music is an intimate portrait of the cultural shift in Istanbul from traditional to modern, told through the stories of three street vendors when their work suddenly becomes illegal. Halit has been selling home-made stuffed mussels for 20 years. Following in the footsteps of his father, Sahin is one of the last milkmen left in Istanbul. Yasemin walks the streets with her bundle full of bedspreads and curtains.
