Maden

Directed by Yavuz Özkan, the 1978 film Maden is a notable example of the socially engaged cinema of its era. Led by Cüneyt Arkın and Tarık Akan, it brings themes of labor and solidarity to the screen with a stark sense of realism. Uniting two powerful actors, the film is remembered among the works that captured the political and class-conscious mood of 1970s Turkey.
