Türkiye’de sessiz sedasız, hiçbir tanıtım yapılmadan yayınlanan bu belgesele acaba TRT yöneticileri neden itibar etmediler? Zeytinburnu Belediyesi’nin Çanakkale belgeselini TRT1’de tekrar yayınlamak acaba doğru, güvenilir ve tarafsız yayıncılık mıdır? 2) Dumlupınar denizaltı faciasının 50. yılı dolayısıyla yayını düşünülen ‘Son Söz Vatan Sağolsun’ belgeseli hangi yöneticinin itirazı ile 3-4 Nisan akşamları yayınlanmadı? 2004 TGC Sedat Simavi ödüllerinde övgüye değer bulunan bu yapım acaba para değil, vatan için ölenlere ithaf edildiği için mi beğenilmedi?

Kaynak TRT Web Sitesi, 18.03.2005 Revealing Gallipoli Every ANZAC Day, New Zealanders old and young remember those who were called to serve our country in the theatre of war. Yet how many have encountered anything beyond those versions which concentrate solely on the stories of our own soldiers? REVEALING GALLIPOLI (tonight at 8.35pm on TV ONE) will not only tell the stories of the New Zealanders, it will include the broader histories from the Turkish, English, Irish, Welsh and Australians. International presenters from the United Kingdom (Prof Keith Jeffery), Turkey (Savas Karakas), and Peter Elliott (New Zealand), will be telling the stories on location in Turkey and the United Kingdom. Aided by a 3D map of the peninsula and coastal regions (the product of satellite imaging overlaid with aerial surveillance photographs from 1915), for the first time television viewers will have the ability to locate both visible and invisible features of the campaign. REVEALING GALLIPOLI goes beyond the usual view that somehow Gallipoli is solely an ANZAC story. The experiences of all the nations involved varied greatly. British and Irish troops hoped that history would repeat itself as their Trojan Horse (the SS River Clyde) was run aground at 'V' Beach. Australians and New Zealanders battled together for an Empire that was crumbling in a country that was half a world from home. While the poorly equipped Turkish forces unwittingly found that a sustainable water supply would ultimately prove more decisive than their initial lack of ammunition. However, soldiers from both sides would agree about one thing. After spending even a few weeks on Gallipoli they would rather have been somewhere else, anywhere else, than amid the flies, the heat, the corpses and the imminent death that confronted them everyday on that inhospitable peninsula.

Brothers in Arms Page Tools Email to a friend Printer format Line of fire- from left, Keith Jeffery, Peter Stanley, Wain Fimeri and Savas Karakas. The real story of Gallipoli emerges from both sides of the trenches, writes Wendy Tuohy. For broadcaster Savas Karakas, the Eddie McGuire of Turkish TV, professional life changed as soon as he opened his grandfather's war diaries. As an avid diver, Karakas already had an interest in the Gallipoli Peninsula, but when he read his grandfather's account of battles between Turkish and Allied troops there in 1915 the link became personal. Karakas, 36, found the story so compelling he decided to stop making the light-entertainment shows for which he was famous in Turkey and began making war documentaries. This led to his involvement in the ABC documentary Revealing Gallipoli, which looks at the 90-year-old campaign from the perspective of the Australian, Irish and Turkish soldiers who fought there. Karakas co-presents the documentary with Dr Peter Stanley, the principal historian at the Australian War Museum, and Irish historian Professor Keith Jeffery. The inclusion of Karakas and the Turkish perspective is the defining element of this project from Melbourne documentary-makers Wain Fimeri (writer-director) and Tony Wright (producer). Advertisement AdvertisementRevealing Gallipoli uses first-hand accounts from diaries and letters to reconstruct the experience of three main characters- an 18-year-old Port Melbourne railway worker seeking adventure, a 16-year-old enlisted Turkish boy and an Irish nationalist and poet who signed up to fight the Germans because he did not want it said that the Irish did nothing while being defended by the English. "The young Turkish guy was literally shooting at the railway worker, and he was trying to climb up the hill to kill the young Turkish boy," Fimeri says. "These two guys were in exactly the same place. The railway worker describes landing in the boat and running up the hill." Although the Gallipoli campaign is considered a formative experience in Australia's history, and has been covered in many films and documentaries, Fimeri says he was surprised how little people really knew about the campaign. "If you asked [Australians] the question, 'Have you heard of Gallipoli?' 100 per cent of hands would go up," he says. "But if you asked where was it and why was it, and why were we fighting the Turks, the hands would diminish rapidly. It's as if the real story has gotten lost over the years." The extent of this ignorance was encapsulated for Fimeri by a comment from Alan Bond after Australia II won the America's Cup in 1983. "He said, 'It was just like Gallipoli, and we won that one.' How did we ever get to the stage where we imagined a victory that wasn't? It was very simply an extraordinary defeat." Stanley says this documentary brings home the roles of other nations at Gallipoli, and the Turkish perspective on the Allied invasion. Karakas believes this is the documentary's most important contribution. "The Anzacs, Irish, British and Turks were fixing bayonets and charging on each other at Gallipoli 90 years ago. They were fighting fist to fist at those locations on the battlefield [where] we three presenters were coming side by side and telling the events from our different point of views." Wright says they wanted to see through the myopia of the Anzac legend and show that there were more people involved in the conflict. "One thing that was very poignant for me was when I realised that the Irish unionists and the republicans fought on the same side ... It was actually a moment of nationhood," he says. Wright believes Karakas added much to the program. "His delivery encapsulated the actual feeling of Turkish people today - these were the invaders, the enemy. Do not forget, please ... that Turkey was invaded." Wright says that it will be interesting to see how Australians react, on the 90th anniversary of the landing, to being referred to as "the enemy" by a Turkish presenter. Revealing Gallipoli screens on the ABC on Sunday at 7.30pm. smh.com.au April 21, 2005 
Revealing Gallipoli Five broadcasters from across the globe are uniting to tell the tragic story of Gallipoli - from all sides. Revealing Gallipoli will be broadcast as a 90-minute special on Sunday April 24 at 7.30pm on ABC TV. A two-part version is also being screened in Turkey, New Zealand, Wales and Ireland. The program follows the campaign as it unfolded, from its beginnings at the War Council of London, through to the ensuing naval attack and the landings and to its end, many months later, when Allied troops silently withdrew in the dead of the Turkish winter. First-hand accounts tell viewers what Gallipoli looked, felt and smelled like, and remarkable 3D archival images bring these scenes to life. Animated maps illustrate the forbidding terrain the soldiers faced, and illuminate the strategies behind the conflict. Irish, Australian and Turkish historians visit Gallipoli as it is today, giving expert accounts from the very ground on which the battles took place. The presenters are the Australian War Memorial's principal historian Dr Peter Stanley, Turkish filmmaker Savas Karakas - the grandson of a Gallipoli veteran - and prominent Irish historian Professor Keith Jeffery. Melbourne-based December Films has spearheaded the project, producing it in association with ABC TV, Turkish Radio and Television, TVNZ (New Zealand), S4C, S4C International (Wales) and RTE (Ireland). The director is award-winning Wain Fimeri, whose credits include the critically-acclaimed television feature, Pozieres, and Love Letters From A War, which screened on ABC TV in 2003 and is back for an encore screening following Revealing Gallipoli, at 9.10pm. abc.net.au April 24, 2005 Revealing Gallipoli Preview Reviews Few Australians know the full story of what happened at Gallipoli. For the first time, Revealing Gallipoli tells these stories from the perspective of many nations that fought there. Three presenters, an Australian, a Turk, and an Irishman, roam the battlefields and tell us the stories of what happened. Together with unique three-dimensional photography and maps, and the extraordinary words and images of the young men who fought there, Revealing Gallipoli brings the battle alive. decemberfilms.com.au
