On the occasion of the centenary of the birth of the Turkish Republic, this film tells the unique story of Atatürk, its founding father.

Mustafa Kemal's work is unprecedented in the history of humanity. Builder of a nation and a people, he is Atatürk, the “father of the Turks”. Built on the smoking ruins of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey was the first Muslim nation in the world to enshrine its secular identity in its constitution. The only one left to this day.

Using archives, often unpublished, this film takes a fresh look at contemporary Turkish history. By taking us back to the past, it allows us to understand the current upheavals the country is going through.
