Ataturk

May 17 1998 N/A NA
Documentary

Designed primarily for non-Turkish viewers, Tolda Örnek's documentary has a portentous narration by Sir Donald Sinden, focusing mostly on Atatürk's qualities as a leader as well as an inspiration to others. His shortcomings (drinking and smoking too much, as well as an inability to relate to his wife) are not overlooked, but Örnek suggests that they were chiefly due to his obsession with work. He had a lot to do in a very short time and achieved it.

Plot

From the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, at a time when almost all of the Islamic world was falling under the dominance of European imperial powers, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk managed not just to preserve but secure Turkey's independence.
