'THEY DECLARED WAR ON US'
Faruk Turgut, the producer of Kızıl Goncalar, spoke to Arif Hür from 12punto about the series, which has been a subject of public debate.
Turgut said, "They declared war on us, but we will fight to the end. These obstructions will cause me a loss of 10 million TL, but health comes first. We will find new locations like lions."
WHAT IS THE SUBJECT OF KIZIL GONCALAR?
Kızıl Goncalar tells the story of the intersecting fates of Levent (Özcan Deniz), a secular Kemalist, and Meryem (Özgü Namal), who lives within a devout religious sect, while drawing attention to the unifying power of motherhood/fatherhood when it comes to a "child," despite differences in belief and opinion.
The production of Kızıl Goncalar is undertaken by Faruk Turgut, while the screenplay is written by Şükrü Necati Şahin. The series stars Özcan Deniz and Özgü Namal.
