NATPE Spotlight: TRT—Turkish Radio and Television Corporation

MIAMI: At NATPE, TRT—Turkish Radio and Television Corporation is putting a spotlight on the historical drama Resurrection (Dirilis Ertugrul), which tells the story of Ertugrul, the son of Suleyman Shah, who is considered to be the grandfather of the Ottoman Empire.

The second season of the drama has been a ratings hit in Turkey, and TRT—Turkish Radio and Television Corporation has high hopes for the series to drum up sales across Latin America at NATPE. TRT is also promoting Filinta, which is an Ottoman Era detective story.

“We have faith in the variety of our content,” says Mehmet Demirhan, the deputy head of the TV department at TRT, who is also keen to highlight the company’s growing TV-movie business. There are 35 completed projects, which the company will be discussing during NATPE with buyers from across LatAm.
