Atatürk: Father of Modern Turkey

Atatürk: Father of Modern Turkey

2018 · 55 min · ★ 7.8 · Documentary, Drama, History

Docudrama examining the life of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who founded the Republic of Turkey from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire. Monuments to him can be found in every city; the anniversary of his death is commemorated every year; derogatory words about him are punishable by law. Rarely has a politician changed a society so radically in such a short time as Atatürk did Turkey.
