Cars of the Revolution

Streaming video - 2008

During a high-profile banquet in Ankara in 1961, a bold declaration is made: “We can build our own car.” What begins as a passing remark suddenly becomes a challenge no one expects to be taken seriously. But one man does. Gündüz, a principled and quietly determined engineer, accepts the impossible task of leading a small team to build a completely original car—by hand, with limited tools, no blueprint, and barely enough time. They're given a worn-down workshop, a slashed budget, and a deadline that feels like a joke: the car must be ready in just 130 days.As pressure mounts from skeptical officials and a mocking press, the team refuses to give up. Working around the clock, away from their families, they find strength not just i...n their mission, but in each other. The deeper they go, the clearer it becomes—this isn’t just about a car. It’s about pride, belief, and proving that even in the face of doubt, something extraordinary can be built from the ground up.When the engine finally roars to life, it’s more than a machine—it’s a revolution. more
