PLOT


                                                    A fleet of ships from Turkey with humanitarian aid and constructions materials for Palestine people heads towards Palestine with the intention of breaking Israeli blockade of Gaza strip. But Israeli commandos boarded the ship and started a killing spree. So, in retaliation Turkey sends their elite commando team led by "Polar Alemdar” to kill the Israeli commander “Mose” who ordered the killing of Turkish people and there by stabilizing the Palestine region.

                          Valley of wolves: Palestine is the fourth film in the “Valley of wolves” media franchise. It was the most expensive film made in Turkish film industry at that time. The movie contains lot of gunfights and explosions, even though some looks illogical. It shows the sufferings of Gaza people whose houses are bulldozed by Israeli Military and put innocent people in jail. The movie is a pure portrayal of Israeli dictatorship and their idea of hatred towards everyone except Jews. I liked the antagonists “Mose” than the hero, because he has such a screen presence and attitude in the movie. Background music were all exact for the situations whether it is action or emotional. Locations were all selectively made to feel like real Gaza, and they have succeeded in giving that feel.

              Valley of Wolves media franchise is one of the most popular media franchise in Turkey due to its anti-Western scripts. This movie is initially made with a different script and was about to start shooting when the “Gaza Flotilla raid” occurred, another incident which shows the brutality of Israel when massacring humanitarian personnel from Turkey. The movie was successful both commercially as well as with its idea. It shows the world about the condition of Gaza and cruelty by Israel. It was blamed for being anti-Israel and inflammatory and was even banned in Germany.


           It can be a good selection for all those who love movies of Political and military background.
