This week we talk about Bergen. Bergen (born Belgin Sarılmışer; 15 July 1958 – 14 August 1989) was a Turkish Singer. She broke the sales record with her album, Acıların Kadını. Bergen has become one of the symbols and faces of violence against women in Türkiye with her life and death.

She left behind a legacy that lives on even today. Let us know what you thought of the recent film Bergen released in 2022 directed by Mehmet Binay and M. Caner Alper.
