The night of July 15, 2016 changed the history of Turkey. On that day there were coordinated attacks by parts of the Turkish army, among others in Istanbul. The aim of the military: a coup against the government. The decisive confrontation occurred on the Bosporus Bridge. While President Erdogan was still on vacation, live at TV he called on the people who were devoted to him to stand against the military. As an enemy for the masses, he presented his adversary Fethullah Gülen, whom he branded as the coup leader. He also urged the imams of the country's mosques to condition the population to resist. And so it happens that at night thousands of agitated people take to the streets to oppose the armed insurgents. The death toll was high. 352 people died across Turkey during the attempted coup. The consequences are even more serious: Erdogan used this gift, as he called it himself, to undermine democracy, to arrange mass arrests of dissidents and to transform Turkey into a dictatorship.

La guerra en Siria parece tan incomprensible como una caja negra: el conflicto comenzó hace casi diez años e incluso hoy en día muchas personas en Occidente tienen la sensación de que ni siquiera entienden exactamente quién está luchando contra quién. PBS presenta este documental en el que se muestra el origen del conflicto, su trascendencia internacional, así como el problema central: la dictadura totalitaria de un clan familiar. A través del testimonio de expertos internacionales de renombre como el ex embajador de Estados Unidos en Damasco, Robert Ford, el asesor del gobierno turco Ibrahim Kalin, el comandante en jefe de la oposición armada siria Salim Idris, y Sam Dagher, autor de la aclamada "Assad or We Burn the Country", el documental describe las etapas del conflicto y aclara los motivos detrás de esta guerra.

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.

"Strange" has been written and directed by Can Dundar and it has three sections, "A Separation", "A Destitution", "A Death", documenting Neset Ertas' musical journey. Shootings of locations where Ertas lived, footage of the musical master Muharrem Ertas and various other rich visual material enrich the value of the documentary. This is a considerably valuable work to document and archive the life of one of the most important bards of the Turkish cultural history and folk music.
