Documentary series chronicling the political developments in Turkey between 1972 and 1983 together with before and after events of 12th September 1980 Turkish coup d'état.

Turkey's history has been shaped by two major political figures: Mustafa Kemal (1881-1934), known as Atatürk, the Father of the Turks, founder of the modern state, and the current president Recep Tayyıp Erdoğan, who apparently wants Turkey to regain the political and military pre-eminence it had as an empire under the Ottoman dynasty.
