The Colour of VictoryZaferin Rengi

Synopsis

The year is 1918 and Istanbul is under occupation. The Ottoman Empire has lost the First World War and signed the Treaty of Moudros. The population is exhausted and hopeless. While the masses live in poverty and hope for reconstruction, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk assigns the football club "Fenerbahçe" the most important task: to defend the fatherland. Fenerbahçe will fulfil this task with the unifying power of sport and increase the people's hope and faith in victory. Galip, the Fenerbahce captain, undergoes surgery and returns to the team. They play consecutive matches against the occupying forces. This situation disturbs the English captain Bennett, as support for the national resistance begun in Anatolia grows rapidly in Istanbul with the enthusiasm of Fenerbahçe's victories. While the games are being played, Fenerbahçe helps the Mim-Mim Society and its leader Mr. Mehmet in the operation to send weapons and ammunition to Anatolia. Can Galip overcome these difficult tasks despite the difficulties and dangers he encounters? Will he defeat the English in the national sport and become the backbone of the national resistance with his team? And above all, will he succeed in making Fenerbahçe to the Fenerbahçe of the people? Based on historical facts, the film "Zaferin Rengi" (translated: The Colour of Victory) tells the story of the resistance that was written through football. A true success story in the Turkish Republic with the breathtaking duel for the Harrington Cup.
