September 12: From Cyprus to Frontline

1998 · 45 min Documentary History

Turkish democracy got over the 27th of May and the 12th of March and set off again, but the storm did not subside and the mutual reckoning was not over. On the contrary, new fronts were opened in the country and blood began to flow like a gutter. Finally, on September 12, there was a knock on the door again. Those who came that day changed everything, everything. Nothing would ever be the same again, nothing would be the same as before.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a meticulous timeline, relying on archival footage and testimonies to explore the mechanisms that led the nation from an external conflict to internal strife and, ultimately, a military coup.

What lingers after viewing is a stark examination of how political fractures and street violence pave the way for dictatorship, leaving deep scars on a nation's collective memory. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Mustafa Ünlü
