Sedat Yilmaz‘s award-winning debut film Press is based on true stories of a handful of brave journalists working in Southeast Turkey during the turmoil of 1990s. You can now rent or buy Press from iTunes in Turkey, North America and select European countries with English and German subtitles.

Recently Press was reviewed by our editor zeze for our Spotlight series.

 Press sets the scene around a national newspaper’s Diyarbakir bureau in the early 90s. There is no one-on-one correspondence between the characters in the movie and real people but what we see on the screen is substantially inspired by true events and real-life characters.
