Istanbul United (ENG)

In the organizer's words:

Istanbul United - Directed by Olli Waldhauer & Farid Eslam

For years, the Ultra fans of the three most important soccer clubs in Istanbul (Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş) have been known worldwide for their unconditional support of their teams. Their mutual rivalry often ends in extremely violent clashes with numerous injuries and even deaths. But in the summer of 2013, something extraordinary happened: during the protests and clashes against the Turkish government and Prime Minister Erdogan in Gezi Park, the rival fan clubs united for the first time for a common cause. People who are notorious for their hatred now stand side by side and fight against the ruling system in Turkey under the name "Istanbul United".
