Al Sancak

Action, military themes and drama come together in Al Sancak, a Turkish television series from Bozdağ Film. It began on TRT 1 on 19 January 2023 and follows a special-operations team as it goes after a large network supplying arms and money to armed organisations. The title means "red banner", and the series had a single season.

In the story, team commander Captain Ali gathers his unit after a sudden piece of intelligence. According to information from a suspicious source, a very important meeting will take place on an island abroad, where the arms network will meet the ringleaders. If the operation succeeds, it will remove a national security threat to Türkiye and bring the team a step closer to the killers of Captain Atilla, who was recently martyred. The fighting is fierce and the enemy far more numerous than expected; Ali comes face to face with Nadia, a mysterious arms dealer, an encounter that sets him on a very difficult path. Uğur Güneş and Gülsim Ali share the leads, with İdris Nebi Taşkan and Ahmet Yenilmez also in the cast.

Can Emre directed first, and Günay Günaydın took over later. The scripts are by Atilla Engin, Mehmet Arı and Selman Kılıçaslan. It ended with its 19th episode on 15 June 2023.
