Learning to live with the bullet in my brain
Mutlu Kaya has learned to forgive the bullet that ended her singing career; but she will never forgive the man who fired it.
In 2015 Mutlu Kaya reached the finals of a leading talent show on Turkish TV, Sesi Γ‡ok GΓΌzel. Her voice had wowed audiences, but days before her performance in the final, Mutlu was shot by a man who had been threatening and following her. Since then, she has lived with a bullet in her brain. This is the story of her survival.
