The legend of the thousand bulls

Synopsis

This is a wonderful tale about that small corner of Anatolia where Kemal grew up. Its in the south east not too far from the Syrian border and a crossroads of cultures. Arab, Kurdish, Turkish, Armenian, Muslim, Christian, Alevi, Yezidi. This story is centred around the Turkmen nomads which opens with the Turkmen tribe sitting up waiting for a legendary night when all their wishes will come true. The story then begins in earnest and concerns one of the last nomadic tribes in this part of Turkey desperately trying to find a piece of land where they can settle and graze cattle.
