Synopsis
The sound of the muezzin's voice calling the faithful to their morning prayers awakens the 11 million inhabitants of Istanbul every day. Despite the fact that many muezzins have been replaced by CD players and speakers mounted atop minarets, there is still great interest in the profession. Each year, Turkey hosts a competition for the best muezzin. Here, we follow it from two perspectives: Habil Ondes, one of the competition judges and a specialist in the call to prayer plus the competition between his two students, Halit Aslan and Isa Aydin, who are trying to advance to the prestigious Pan-Turkish finals.
