10 Years On The Devil's Island(2025)

10 Years On The Devil's Island is a hybrid documentary-drama that chronicles the true story of Ottoman police officer Cemil during Turkey's War of Liberation. When Istanbul falls under Western occupation, Cemil's resistance against French soldiers leads to his arrest and conviction by occupier courts. Sentenced to decades in prison, he's transported to the notorious Devil's Island penal colony in French Guiana, where he endures brutal conditions and fights for survival. The series traces Cemil's harrowing imprisonment and his eventual return to the newly independent Turkish Republic, blending historical fact with dramatized narrative to capture one man's struggle against colonial oppression and his journey home.
