The global success of Turkish drama
In this fireside chat session, we find out more about the fast-growing international appetite for Turkish dramas and delve into the success of the hit series One Love. Izzet Pinto, CEO, Global Agency discusses the keys to successfully exporting Turkish drama globally, whilst lead actor Barış Kılıç takes us behind the scenes of One Love to learn more about what has made this one of the world’s most talked about shows and why it is resonating well with younger audiences.
One Love – A search for harmony amid a clash of cultures.
One Love tells the captivating story of the idealistic Doga falling hopelessly in love at university with the charming Fatih, a man from a devout family whose values clash with those of her mother, creating a moving drama as they seek to overcome their differences. Doga’s life plans are turned upside down and her mother is shaken to the core when she refuses to have an abortion and instead marries him. With her devastated mother convinced that religion will doom their marriage, Doga and Fatih face a battle for their love to triumph over this culture clash. Her mother too faces a struggle that triggers major changes in her attitudes, enriching a complex love story that brings together two families who are worlds apart but share the same deep truths.
