Valley of the Wolves: Palestine

Valley of the Wolves: Palestine (Kurtlar Vadisi: Filistin, 2011) — watch online on iFILM. Directed by Zübeyr Şaşmaz, this Turkish military action film spun off from the long-running TV series Valley of the Wolves. Polat Alemdar leads a commando unit to the West Bank, hunting for the Israeli general who ordered the strike on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.

The story draws directly from the May 2010 flotilla raid. Necati Şaşmaz reprises Polat with the same iron economy as in the TV show — sparse with words, all action. The film generated sharp international controversy on release while drawing strong audiences at home. Stream Valley of the Wolves: Palestine (2011) online on iFILM.
