In a small town deep within today's Turkey, five sisters revolt against their families and a stifling patriarchal order. Turkish-French filmmaker Deniz Gamze Ergüven shot Mustang, her first film, during the events in Taksim Square in Istanbul. Making her debut at the Festival de Cannes in 2015 and representing France the following year at the Academy Awards, this impetuous film is particularly topical now that the Turkish regime is tightening the thumbscrews and Turkish women are victims of attacks from religious and conservative powers. This documentary by Amine Mestari traces the history of this partly autobiographical film and shows the growing tensions between tradition and modernity, East and West, secularism and religiosity, and town and country that characterize contemporary Turkish society.
