21st Century Sultan: Why Turkey Keeps Choosing Erdoğan | ENDEVR Documentary

21st Century Sultan: Why Turkey Keeps Choosing Erdoğan | ENDEVR Documentary The greatest challenge to his leadership in decades. After ruling with an iron fist for over twenty years, Recep Tayyip Erdogan faces a historic run-off election. Mismanagement of the catastrophic February 6 earthquake in 2023—which killed nearly 45,000 people—exposed rampant corruption in a construction sector that ignored vital safety standards. Erdogan's brutal policies blend nationalism, economic liberalism, and intense re-Islamization, highlighted by building 14,000 mosques and fostering a booming "Islamic fashion" industry promoted by top influencers. To secure absolute power, he has ruthlessly crushed dissent. Ranked among the world's most repressive nations for press freedom, eighty-nine journalists have been jailed since 2016, while brave reporters face hundreds of years in prison for exposing state secrets. This documentary journeys deep inside a fractured Turkey, torn between submission and resistance.
