This film is a piece of art despite being a low-budget biographical film. Its equivalents, such as the super big-budget Napoleon released around the same time as Ataturk, the cinematic storytelling in "Ataturk" is stronger. You will see his character development starting from a childhood until him being a visionary, but very fidel warrior for his country. The noble scene during the Gallipoli (part 2) where his conscience is always aware of the blood of his soldiers who died, while the sultan tries to corrupt him, you'll feel almost what he feels. Ataturk is more compelling than its big-budget counterparts because the scenario is well thought, the storytelling techniques used are are unique.

The heavy wrong traditions like arranged marriage or forced children age marriage can only be changed by talking and showing more like this documentary. The women is more powerful then they think. The women can start a revolution starting from inside. We should create a solidarity and find a way to speak up for ourselves in the society to stop it. Next generations will positively change if we do so. Congratulations!

All the personalities in this series evolve over time and each one of them are very interesting. The scenarists were well tought on every detail in a point where all the 'taboos' are pointed out in that community and at the end the characters become like one of us. Thanks to their problems and struggles as audience, we start see so many similarities and common points with our lives and theirs.
