ADAPTED FROM THE BOOK

00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,720
{\an8}1977, MOMCHILGRAD,
BULGARIA
8
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,960
- Mom!
- Naim!
9
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,040
You dirty rascal.
Were you swimming in the creek again?
10
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,960
- What happened?
- You're soaked.
11
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,600
- Way to go, boy.
- You're soaking wet!
12
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,800
Easy.
13
00:01:31,985 --> 00:01:33,785
{\an8}LABOR-COOPERATIVE FARM
14
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,320
SUCCESS AND GLORY OF WORK!
15
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,640
Wait.
16
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,460
Good boy.
17
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,800
Good boy. Way to go!
18
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,160
Naim!
19
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,200
Muharrem, Raim.
Supper is ready.
20
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,520
Sit down.
21
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,080
Shouldn't we wait for Dad?
22
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,800
He's at work. I'll wait for him.
You go ahead.
23
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,000
- I'll wait for Daddy.
- Me too!
24
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,600
- Where are you going?
- I'm hungry.
25
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Okay, I'm getting it.
26
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:16,160
The food will get cold!
Your dad will be here soon!
27
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Come to the table!
28
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,120
Who am I talking to?
29
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,160
Naim, Raim, come to the table!
30
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,920
- I'm hungry.
- Okay, it's coming. Wait.
31
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,840
- Dad brought the bus home, Mom.
- A bus!
32
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:37,160
What the...
33
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,680
What bus?
34
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,360
Move.
35
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:42,040
- What is it?
- Move.
36
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Move.
37
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,440
I'll take my shoes off.
38
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,560
Clear the table. Come on.
Take everything off.
39
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Go on. Quick.
40
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Don't put that on the table.
41
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,680
I'll drop the bus off at the garage
and be right back.
42
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,840
Do not touch the box until I'm back.
43
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,400
The kids were going to eat.
44
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,480
Don't touch it.
Daddy told us to wait.
45
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,120
- It's a TV!
- Yes.
46
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,680
TV! TV! TV!
47
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:24,960
Let's open it.
48
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,280
Naim, you hold the box.
49
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,080
Did you put us on the list for a TV?
50
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,120
Yeah, five years ago.
51
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,320
You were three.
You wouldn't remember.
52
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,400
It's heavy.
53
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,640
Put that stuff away.
54
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,360
- Come on. Clear the table.
- Go easy.
55
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,120
Now you can watch TV right here.
56
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,320
And instead of going to other
people's homes, you will call them here.
57
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,440
- Stop it, don't break it on the first day.
- Let's connect the antenna.
58
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,960
- Do it later.
- TV!
59
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,480
Oh, gosh!
The food is getting cold.
60
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,400
One by one. Stay in line.
61
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Stay there, wait.
62
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Come on. Wait there. One by one.
63
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,560
Look, I've told you 50 times already.
64
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,640
So, again,
spread your legs shoulder width apart.
65
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,920
Grab it right across your feet.
66
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,680
As you lift the barbell up...
67
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,680
you will position yourself like this.
68
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,560
That's it.
69
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,440
Let me see you do it, Ivan.
70
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:54,960
Drop it.
71
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,080
Now it’s your turn, Sasho.
72
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,680
He told you 50 times.
73
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,080
You grab it like this.
74
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:10,800
He said for you to lift it
like this first. Then...
75
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,120
you'll quickly spread your legs.
76
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,800
Like you're jumping.
77
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,160
Naim.
78
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,280
Have you done some weightlifting before?
79
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,120
Would you like to do it?
80
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,600
Why not? Don't you want to be an athlete?
81
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,520
I do. Table tennis, swimming maybe.
82
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,200
Come to Kardzali and join our team.
Weightlifting is a man's sport, boy.
83
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,040
- You work in Kardzali?
- Yeah.
84
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,600
And I know Coach Enver.
85
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,400
- My dad drives the Kardzali bus.
- Then he should bring you.
86
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,400
Naim, Muharrem!
87
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,480
You've entered without tickets again?
88
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,640
How long are you gonna keep driving me
mad like this?
89
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,400
Enter without a ticket again,
and I'll rip your ears off!
90
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,720
{\an8}KARDZALI, BULGARIA
91
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,520
{\an8}KARDZHALI-MOMCHILGRAD
92
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,200
Dad, Kardzali is so big.
93
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,600
Of course it is. What did I tell you?
94
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,720
BUS STATION
95
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,640
{\an8}KARDZALI SPORTS SCHOOL
96
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,440
I only brought him here
because of Enver's request.
97
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,520
- What the hell is weightlifting?
- Don't say that, Mr. Suleyman.
98
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,800
Weightlifting is cool.
99
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,200
His mother heard
that if he were to start at this age,
100
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,640
he wouldn't grow tall or have any kids.
She told him and he got scared.
101
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,400
With time, you'll put on the weight
and you'll learn the snatch.
102
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,760
Hilmi, you're here.
103
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,320
Welcome, Suleyman.
Sorry for the trouble.
104
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,480
No trouble. We're honored.
105
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,560
Welcome, Naim.
106
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,920
- Kiss your coach's hand, boy.
- Wait.
107
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,920
If I can help you in any way,
then we'll consider hand kissing.
108
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,280
Go practice with Hilmi on the mat.
Come on. Let's go.
109
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,120
We have a small number of athletes.
110
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,160
Wrestling is very popular,
but weightlifting? Not so much.
111
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,160
We need to raise athletes, Suleyman.
Hilmi spoke highly of your boy.
112
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,360
Let's see if there's any truth to it.
113
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,040
What do you say, Coach?
You see any light in there?
114
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,800
Would you look at that.
115
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,680
Hold on, Hilmi.
116
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,720
Hilmi trained you at Momchilgrad, right?
117
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,520
He showed me some stuff.
118
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,880
Would you like to come here
and train with me during the weekends?
119
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,560
Wouldn't you?
120
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,200
I will hold a tournament here in a month.
Wouldn't you like to participate in it?
121
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,480
- There's a medal for the winner.
- A medal?
122
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:39,400
- And it's gold.
- Really?
123
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,200
So, let's train today.
124
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,680
- What do you say?
- Okay.
125
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,960
Let us train today, Suleyman.
You'll pick him up in the evening, okay?
126
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,720
Wait, be careful.
Watch the distance between your feet.
127
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,040
It needs to be shoulder width.
Spread them wider.
128
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,600
See you later.
Take it easy with him.
129
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,280
Spread them.
130
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,480
- What grade are you in?
- I speak Turkish.
131
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000
So... what grade are you in?
132
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,240
Students...
133
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,280
you may begin your games.
134
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,080
Check...
135
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,360
mate.
136
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,680
Congrats.
137
00:10:10,175 --> 00:10:12,455
Don't worry,
maybe you'll win one day.
138
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,760
Here is your medal in the 22 kg category.
Way to go.
139
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,560
- You've lifted more than your own weight.
- Did I win?
140
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,600
Sure you did.
You won the gold medal.
141
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,200
Look.
142
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,520
- Way to go.
- Congrats, Enver.
143
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,480
We fully support you holding tournaments
like this on your own.
144
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,400
Okay. You go change.
145
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,920
The newcomers just need a little
encouragement.
146
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,400
You can give medals out like candy,
but he's too young.
147
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:57,520
What's he doing in here?
How old is he?
148
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,920
- Ten.
- What?
149
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,960
He can't do this now. Regulations
state that the minimum age is 14.
150
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,960
- Sofia is very strict about this.
- It'll be fine.
151
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,400
There are scientific studies
that support starting at that age.
152
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:16,120
You saw how they applauded you
in there?
153
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,040
Your dad has agreed to four-week training.
And it went so fast.
154
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,360
Maybe if you talk to him,
I can practice another couple of weeks.
155
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,320
Now you have a big responsibility.
156
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:28,280
You may not realize just yet...
157
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,480
but this medal is heavier than a barbell.
158
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,200
Once every week won't cut it.
159
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,760
Let me move you to Kardzali
and have you join the sports school.
160
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,280
And you'll officially
be part of this team.
161
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,960
- Like, staying here?
- Of course.
162
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,400
We have a sports hotel.
You'll stay there.
163
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,520
With Brother Hilmi.
164
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,920
- You wanna come?
- I don't know.
165
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,400
What's holding you back?
166
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:55,120
- Now, tell me.
- Okay...
167
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,389
will my mom agree to this?
168
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,320
He's too young to be in Kardzali.
And he'll be all alone.
169
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,240
Naim is not used to big cities.
A car might hit him.
170
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,960
Thank you, Enver.
This is all good...
171
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,320
but is it right to take a ten-year-old
away from his home?
172
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,440
He won't be away from his home.
He'll be here on the weekends.
173
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,640
He will.
For two days.
174
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,640
With all due respect,
why did you have to pick my child?
175
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,640
Aren't there any other athletes here?
176
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,240
That's a very good question,
Sister Hatice.
177
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,160
Why did I pick your boy
over all the other children?
178
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,880
Well, this kid that you gave birth to,
Sister Hatice,
179
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,200
he's got a God given gift.
180
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,800
You should be mad at yourself
for having a child with this talent.
181
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,520
You haven't slept yet?
182
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,040
Naim...
183
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,200
do you want to go to Kardzali?
184
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,640
I won't go if you say I can't, Mom.
185
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,280
You're too young.
186
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:34,520
I'm not. I won a medal.
187
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,840
Yes.
188
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,080
Yes, you did.
189
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:50,840
Okay.
190
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,360
But won't you be afraid?
What will you do there all alone?
191
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,400
Why would I be afraid?
192
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,240
Wouldn't you miss us?
193
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:03,760
Sure.
194
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,560
I won't go if you ask me not to.
195
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:17,120
Your mouth is saying one thing.
Yet your heart says something else.
196
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,640
I hope it ends well.
197
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,560
- Welcome.
- Come on.
198
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,840
SPORTS DORMITORY - KARDZHALI
199
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,120
This one, too.
200
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,480
Naim, you forgot this bag.
201
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,840
This is your room.
202
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,120
You will be staying here
with your older brothers.
203
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,440
And this is your bed.
204
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,800
And there's your closet.
Go on, tiger, settle in.
205
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,160
- Yes?
- This is a new student, Naim.
206
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,880
- Kids, let's welcome Naim.
- Welcome, Naim.
207
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,720
You may sit.
208
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,400
WE GROW UP AND STUDY FREELY!
209
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,760
- They let me carry the team flag.
- Oh, my goodness!
210
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,280
That's great.
Of course he will have you carry it.
211
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,000
Like father, like son.
212
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,920
COUNTY HOSPITAL
213
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,840
Squat, squat, squat...
214
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,920
And jump!
Yes. Here we go again.
215
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,920
We will repeat. Going down.
216
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Squat...
217
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,840
Yes. Always bend your knees.
218
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,600
Yes!
219
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,640
Lock your elbows.
220
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,640
When you jump,
they should not move.
221
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,360
Your back must be straight.
Yeah.
222
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,480
Pull.
223
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,880
Control your breathing.
Straight back.
224
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,560
Eyes forward.
225
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,560
Pull. Yes.
226
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,320
Look straight ahead. Okay?
227
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,720
Again.
228
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,200
Yes!
229
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,840
Get up. Do it like this.
230
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,560
Got it?
231
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,920
Hold it, yes.
Hold, hold, hold.
232
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,360
Now, drop it, and jump.
Yes!
233
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,320
Naim, what are you doing?
234
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,560
He's right.
235
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,920
He says he should be playing at the park,
but I'm making him train here.
236
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,920
He should also play
and enjoy his childhood.
237
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,160
Pull now!
238
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,480
Hold, hold, hold.
239
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,440
Hold it like that and then drop it.
Don't bend your elbows.
240
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Don't bend them.
241
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,920
You should lower it correctly.
Now, go.
242
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,760
Leave it. Out!
243
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:45,560
Out!
244
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,600
Let me hear your breathing.
Let me hear it.
245
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Okay. Inhale and exhale.
Again. And again.
246
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,000
Now, pull!
247
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,560
Let's control this breathing.
In and out.
248
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:18,280
Now, pull!
249
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:20,400
Bravo!
250
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,920
You will lift it with your heart
and with your soul.
251
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,280
You will not think about anything else.
252
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,480
Spread your legs. Yes.
Not too much. Okay.
253
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,200
Now, squat slowly.
254
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,400
Stand up. Straight.
Always stand straight.
255
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,760
One more time.
256
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,920
These feet will walk many more miles.
257
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,400
They will support a lot of weight. A lot.
258
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,760
Okay, now.
Godspeed, little man.
259
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,920
How come they are saying
my boy is older?
260
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:47,160
It's only on paper.
261
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,240
They did a bunch of tests.
His body growth is already over his age.
262
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,800
Only on paper.
263
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,040
That's the worst part.
264
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,960
They chose him
for the tournament in Vidin.
265
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,360
Enver is pushing the officials
266
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,480
to change the weightlifting
minimum age regulation.
267
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,040
- He managed to take it down to 14.
- My boy is so young.
268
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,160
Naim, do you remember Sylvia Yankova?
269
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,880
- The chess champion of our school.
- Yeah.
270
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:13,720
She went to Sofia to live with her nana.
She left this for you.
271
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:26,600
They put Sylvia's father in jail.
272
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,360
- I told you to keep quiet about that.
- But everybody knows
273
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,520
- they supported the Turks--
- Zip it! What did I just say?
274
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,440
Get your atlas.
You come over here, too.
275
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,440
Give it to me.
276
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Let's see where this Vidin is.
277
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:45,920
This is Momchilgrad.
And Vidin is over here.
278
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,320
{\an8}VIDIN, BULGARIA
WEIGHTLIFTING CHAMPIONSHIP
279
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,120
Look who's here, Naim.
280
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,800
Ivan Abadjiev.
281
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,720
That's Ivan Abadjiev?
282
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,000
Sure is.
He's the coach of all coaches.
283
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:06,320
He trains the National Team.
I want him to see you today.
284
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:08,960
And if he likes me?
285
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,640
Then your next stop
will be the National Team camp.
286
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:13,960
- In Sofia?
- Sure.
287
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,080
If you succeed there as well,
you'll be selected for the National Team.
288
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,160
Sofia is far away.
289
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,440
Those who stand in the shadows
won't have a shadow of their own, Naim.
290
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,040
You have to stand in the sun
to become a shadow yourself.
291
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,480
So the people can gather in your shadow.
Kardzali is just a province.
292
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,200
The door to the world is over there.
293
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,040
Go on, show yourself.
294
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,320

00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,280
Lift! Stand straight! Straight!
299
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:08,120
Close the legs!
Close 'em! Stand straight!
300
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:10,800
Bravo! Bravo, son.
301
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,040
- You realize how much you just lifted?
- Yes, sir.
302
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:16,880
- And how many times you did it?
- Yes, sir.
303
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,600
- If I put you on the National Team...
- Yes, sir.
304
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,360
- ...will you lift the same in São Paulo?
- Yes, sir!
305
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,120
- How much?
- As much as you want me to lift.
306
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,880
Good boy!
I want you like this.
307
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,560
Kosta, read the names
that are going to São Paulo.
308
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,200
These are the athletes representing
the Bulgarian National Team
309
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,320
that will compete in Brazil:
310
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,840
Stefan Topurov.
311
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,200
Asen Zlatev.
312
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Naim Suleymanov.
313
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,240
Show me.
314
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,360
Where will they take Naim to compete?
315
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,920
Brazil, Brazil...
316
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,560
No, Brazil is not there.
317
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,360
You need to turn the page
to the entire world to find it.
318
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,520
Here is Momchilgrad.
319
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,400
Here's Brazil.
320
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,480
Oh, they're taking Naim to the West then.
321
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,720
Oh, my.
Are you going by plane?
322
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,240
Plane, ship, train... Whatever.
323
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,280
From Momchilgrad...
Forget about Momchilgrad.
324
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,760
They've never before let anyone
from Kardzali go abroad.
325
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,960
Let alone to a non-socialist country.
Brazil is not communist.
326
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,400
But they're letting him go.
327
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,480
Wow, man. Wow.
328
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,640
Wow, bro.
329
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:54,400
Can you go?
330
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,080
It's so far.

1982 SÃO PAULO
333
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,680
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to São Paulo
334
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,760
and to the eighth Annual
Youth World Weightlifting Championship.
335
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:19,840
Easy.
336
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,320
Lift it. Give it to me.
337
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,400
Tall as a cypress tree.
338
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,560
If this one can't receive the signals
from Ankara...
339
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,440
- Turn it on one more time.
- One more time.
340
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,080
- How do you know--
- Turn it on.
341
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,520
- There!
- There you go.
342
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,600
Naim Suleymanov.
He's at the eighth Youth World
343
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,040
and Pan American Championship
here in São Paulo, Brazil.
344
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,440
This is the first international appearance
for this young man of Turkish origin.
345
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,640
You show them.
346
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,920
The young athlete is trying a risky
weight, 140 kilos.
347
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,160
Come on.
348
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,760
Naim weighs 52 kg.
349
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,400
At his first international competition,
350
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,920
he's going for almost triple
his own weight. He's tough.
351
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,800
Bravo! Bravo!
352
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,520
Way to go, boy! Way to go!
353
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,440
You did it. You did it!
354
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,800
That was 140 kg,
a young class world record.
355
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,520
And he lifted 110 kg at the snatch.
So, it's a total of 250 kg.
356
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,480
That is a world record.
Bravo, Naim.
357
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,480
Bulgarian heroes!
Bulgarian heroes!

HEAVY WEIGHT
361
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,840
He'll blow his hair now.
362
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,560
That's right.
363
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,200
One side is heavier.
It's not equal.
364
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,200
Coach?
365
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,400
They put the single 5 kg
on the right side.
366
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,880
- Why didn't you inspect it properly?
- Cut!
367
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,160
- Why did they cut it?
- It'll come back.
368
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,120
What if he got hurt?
369
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,640
Equal or not,
the lift is valid regardless, Coach.
370
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,840
Bravo.
371
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:53,560
Point!
372
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,760
Well done, boy!
373
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,240
Bulgarian heroes!
Bulgarian heroes!
374
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,720
Dear Comrades,
we are gathered here today
375
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,640
to celebrate gold medalist
Naim Suleymanov.
376
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:11,640
Let's hear it for him, friends.
377
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,880
You're the pride
of the Republic of Bulgaria.
378
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,160
Our government is presenting this Lada car
to Comrade Naim
379
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,440
as a gift for this great achievement.
380
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,480
We're hoping that these great achievements
will continue.
381
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:40,480
I am proud to bring these gold medals
to the Republic of Bulgaria.
382
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,520
I feel the love and support
of the Bulgarian people everywhere I go.

PARLIAMENT SESSION
385
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,000
The opening address
of Comrade Todor Zhivkov
386
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,560
at one of this country's congressional
sessions, in 1970,
387
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,520
is a historical event
that still enlightens our path today.

{\an8}DECEMBER 26, 1984
THE DARK NIGHT
389
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,080
Bulgaria is a one-nation state.
390
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,040
Because of historical conditions,
391
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,480
we have a Turkish minority
living in our country.
392
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,080
Following Comrade Zhivkov's orders,
393
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,360
we are now commencing
Operation Returning to the Roots
394
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,320
targeting all Turks who live among us.
395
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,960
Go back to your homes!
396
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,960
Go back to your homes!
397
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,360
As part of this assimilation campaign,
398
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,880
schools will no longer have classes
in the Turkish language,
399
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,720
mosques will be closed down,
400
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,120
Turkish newspapers will be closed down,
401
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,360
and speaking Turkish
will be banned in public places.
402
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,160

Those in favor of
the national liberation motion...
407
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,000
Those opposed...
408
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,840
Motion unanimously accepted.
409
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,200
Firing positions!
410
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,840
Fire!

Naim.
413
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,760
Naim, get up.
414
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,400
Your father is calling.
He sounds bad.
415
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,440
- Hello, Dad?
- Naim, son...
416
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,720
What happened, Dad?
417
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,680
The situation is bad here.
Bad things happened tonight.
418
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,480
I can't talk about it on the phone.
We are okay.
419
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,720
Your mom and brother are at home,
420
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,600
- and Muharrem is with me.
- What happened?
421
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,280
There are other people
waiting to make a phone call.
422
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,560
I have to hang up now.
Go to sleep.
423
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,600
I miss you, son.
424
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,680
Good morning, Comrades.
425
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,440
Today is December 27,
and 1984 is almost over.
426
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,360
Wheat production has increased
by 15 percent this year.
427
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:38,360
Good morning.
428
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,920
With this increase,
wheat has reached growth levels
429
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,320
equal to our other leading field crops.
430
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,440
Nothing on TV.
431
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,040
Were you expecting something like a fool?
432
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,400
TOWN HALL
433
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,280
You're changing your name
of your own free will.
434
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,080
Pick any Bulgarian name
you want from this list.
435
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,040
We're not forcing you.

ANASTASIA MIHAILOVA SEVERINOVA
437
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,560
Naim is here, Esma.
438
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,000
Is that Naim?
439
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,520
Welcome, Naim.
440
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,360
Naim! Welcome, son.
441
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:19,720
Welcome.
442
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,400
Naim, welcome.
443
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:29,360
- You're our pride.
- Did they make you walk here?
444
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,960
Welcome.
445
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,560
- You gave us strength.
- Welcome, Naim.
446
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,360
- My boy.
- My son.
447
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,600
I was a bit impatient,
when you stepped on that platform...
448
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:37,840
Welcome.
449
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,160
Move away! Go on!
What are you doing?
450
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,600
Don't you have brains?
451
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,280
We were told not to gather together,
not even two, or three people!
452
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,840
You wanna get him into trouble?
453
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,320
You've kissed and hugged him enough.
So get the hell out of here! Go on! Get!
454
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,600
You're going to the tobacco harvest
with your mom
455
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,320
- tomorrow, right?
- Yes.
456
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,480
Stop by at your grandfather's grave
on your way back. Okay?
457
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,360
But make sure that no one's with you.
458
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,480
Go on. Go on!

00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,280

00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,800
Naim? My son.
463
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,200
Well...
464

{\an8}ALLI STILYANOV
465
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,040
Who do you think did this, Naim?
466
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,320
- You don't recognize me.
- No. Sorry.
467
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,920
What if I say Attorney Nevzat Kucuk?
468
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,680
Nevzat "Little Bro" Kucuk.
469
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,360
Little Bro, yeah.
470
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,720
Now, tell me, who changed the names
on the tombstones?
471
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,280
- It must've been the police.
- You're wrong.
472
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,080
It's the Imam.
473
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,160
The Imam? Why?
474
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,120
The police told him, "If we change it,
we might break some of them,
475
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,040
find a couple of guys
and deal with it yourself."
476
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,000
He did it with tears in his eyes.
477
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,800
Changed the names of the dead?
This is treachery.
478
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,240
It sure is.
479
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,560
Let's go for a walk.
480
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,480
First you will promise me
481
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,480
that what we discuss today
will remain between us.
482
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:20,680
I promise.
483
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,160
- Did you hear about the Belene camp?
- Of course I did.
484
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,280
They moved the people who refused
to change their names there.
485
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,360
There's more besides that.
486
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,080
I spent five years in Belene.
487
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:38,880
Belene is an island
in the Danube River.
488
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,400
It connects to the mainland
via a single bridge.
489
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,480
When you cross that bridge
you enter a different world.
490
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,040
After a while you forget that
there's another world beyond that bridge.
491
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,080
In fact,
they try to make you believe that.
492
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:55,840
You have to resist that.
493
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,200
You must keep reminding yourself
that outside this camp,
494
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,720
outside this torture center,
people are resisting like you,
495
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,520
and that they will never forget you.
496
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,920
We've always lived with this hope...
497
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,800
- but I wonder if the world remembers us.
- They fired upon women and children.
498
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,120
They all died in vain.
499
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,680
They died so they
wouldn't have to change their names,
500
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,920
and now their tombstones
have Bulgarian names on them.
501
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,680
Turkan, Suleyman, Mustafa,
Rami, Nesim, İbrahim,
502
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,760
Muammer, Aziz, Kemal,
Zubeyde, Sefika.
503
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,840
Their names are written in here, Naim.
504
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,200
They won't be forgotten.
505
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,000
When the time comes
the whole world will know them.
506
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:46,320
No one, not even in Sofia,
has heard about what happened here.
507
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,400
How could the whole world know?
508
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,800
Everyone has a weapon, Naim.
509
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,280
Some throw rocks,
some write poems.
510
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,720
I don't know what your power is.
511
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,960
What you can do for these people,
you'll find out on your own.

00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,440
Bulgaria National Team.
Good luck.
522
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,120
We're so happy to see you.
Good luck.
523
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,600
Good luck.
524
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,400
- Good luck.
- Hello.
525
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,120
- I'm Basri.
- Hi.
526
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:14,920
- I'm a Bulgarian Turk.
- Are there many Turkish in Australia?
527
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,640
Of course there are. We're not alone.
You're Naim Suleymanov, right?
528
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,200
Yeah.
529
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,680
We've heard that they're changing all
Turkish names,
530
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:23,840
- but--
- Right.
531
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,840
- So much has happened.
- Great that they haven't changed yours.
532
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,240
Yeah, no, I guess they haven't yet
since I'm attending tournaments abroad.
533
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:32,800
They can't change it anyway.
534
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,440
- The whole world knows your name.
- Naim!
535
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,520
- Then I'll see you around.
- See ya.
536
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:39,400
If you need anything...
But we won't be seeing each other again.
537
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:40,880
- Fate.
- My wife and kids.
538
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,480
- Hello. They're cute.
- Thanks.
539
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,560
See you. Let's go.
540
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,840
- Naim. Hello, Naim.
- Hi.
541
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,640
I spoke to Basri.
You met him at the park yesterday.
542
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,000
- Yeah, we spoke.
- We've been here for a long time.
543
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,160
We're immigrants from Bulgaria.
You're also from there.
544
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:06,400
We watch you on TV.
Medals, records.
545
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,680
- We're so proud of you.
- Thank you.
546
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,480
We don't have much time.
They'll be getting suspicious.
547
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,440
That's why I'll ask you right away.
Do you ever think of escaping?
548
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,120
Keep walking.
Do you ever think of escaping?
549
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,880
Huh? Maybe to the West?
550
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,680
Or to Turkey? Huh?
Turkey would be so nice, right?
551
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,240
You visit many different countries.
Don't you ever think of escaping?
552
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,680
Why not?
553
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,800
You will definitely need people
who can help you.
554
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,440
We have many people here, Naim.
Just so you know. Many people.
555
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,280
If you ever decide to escape,
just tell me.
556
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,000
You're my fellow countryman.
557
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,160
- You can trust me.
- Not like this.
558
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,840
We've just met.
559
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,680
And which village are you from?
560
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:49,920
- Sedefche.
- Sedefche?
561
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,480
Hello, my brother.
562
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,680
That's Little Bro's village.
563
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,680
You guys are making us
Bulgarians proud.
564
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,080
Keep up the good work.
565
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:04,800
Little Bro's village.
566
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,360
I wouldn't know what your power is.
You'll find it on your own.
567
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,280
It's nothing. Go back to sleep.
568
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,000
Come on! Take it!
569
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,160
This one is for you!
570
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,360
Way to go, tiger.
You've made us proud again.
571
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,120
Thank you, bro.
572
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,640
I spoke to my guys.
They were so happy.
573
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,280
- About what?
- That you will be escaping.
574
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,160
Brother,
we should've talked about it first.
575
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,800
How can we do this?
I have no idea and--
576
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,680
If you've made up your mind,
that's easy.
577
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,400
I have spoken with many people
since last night.
578
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,400
I told them,
"Naim will escape, be prepared."
579
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,520
Everyone will do their part.
580
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,800
I have family there.
581
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,120
My mom is in Momchilgrad.
And my dad and Muharrem...
582
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,600
Naim, everyone involved in this
has a family.
583
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,280
Just tell me if you're in.
584
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:52,240
What's wrong?
585
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,680
- Scared?
- Not for myself.
586
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,840
- But this is so sudden.
- Sudden?
587
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,160
What do you mean?
588
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,160
- We just met yesterday.
- So what?
589
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,560
Don't you ever discuss among yourselves
a way to escape to Turkey?
590
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,160
- We do.
- Don't talk.
591
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,640
Just do it.
592
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,680
Here's your chance.
We're talking about it.
593
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,720
You don't become a hero by talking, Naim.
594
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:23,800
Naim?
595
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,880
Mustafa, Rami, Nesim,
596
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,640
Muammer, Aziz, Kemal,
597
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,000
Zubeyde, Sefika.
598
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,160
Who are they?
599
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,120
Did you hear about baby Turkan,
brother?
600
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,040
- I didn't.
- She was only 18 months old.
601
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:23,760
When Sofia sent the tanks,
we lost nine people.
602
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,160
You're my countryman,
and you didn't hear about it.
603
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,560
We don't receive the news.
Kardzali is a forbidden zone.
604
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:29,840
They require a separate visa.
605
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,720
No reporter can get in or out of there.
606
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:35,200
The news might not get out,
but I could.
607
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:38,240
If I speak, the whole world will hear.
608
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,000
Now you're talking, man.
609
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:41,480
Let's do it, bro.
610
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:42,880
Okay. Wonderful!
611
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,720
We have a meeting in 15 minutes.
612
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,560
Abadjiev gives a speech.
613
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:51,560
Then they read the schedule
for the night.
614
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,720
I'll learn the time and place
for the celebratory dinner.
615
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,320
Everyone will have their dinner
in their rooms.
616
00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:01,600
Leaving the hotel
is absolutely prohibited.
617
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,480
What about the celebratory dinner?
618
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,520
Why are we winning the medals
if we're not going to celebrate?
619
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,800
Dinner will be served in the rooms.
620
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,200
The bar, lobby and the swimming pool
are prohibited.
621
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,240
Why are we winning then?
622
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,160
Boys, to your rooms.
Go on.
623
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,000
What's going on?
624
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,680
There was a tip.
Intelligence is going down hard.
625
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,040
Go on, faster.
626
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,000
Have a nice trip.
627
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,520
Congratulations.
628
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,240
Bravo. Bravo!
629
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,160
The World Championship is next year.
We'll definitely do it next year.
630
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,480
See you next year.
631
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,400
See you all next year!
632
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,120
- And then, we will have drinks.
- Okay.
633
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,280
See you all next year!
634
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:24,320
{\an8}NAIM'S HOME
SOFIA
635
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:31,880
Is that his house? It's very beautiful.
Can you imagine what it would be like...
636
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,880
Look how nice Naim's place is.
637
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:47,520
- It's huge.
- Yeah.
638
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,160
Naim?
639
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:54,440
Hello.
640
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:56,920
You have a very nice place.
641
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:58,640
Welcome.
642
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,160
Go in.
643
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,040
- Why the long face, champ?
- No long face.
644
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,840
It's just one room smaller
than Zhivkov's Palace.
645
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:10,520
You're right.
646
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,360
Friends, Little Giant didn't like
just getting a medal.
647
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,920
He says, "Tell Zhivkov to give me
his own palace next time."
648
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,160
- We've laughed so hard.
- And drank too much.
649
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,320
No, please don't! Don't!
650
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,320
Coach, we've received a letter for Naim.
651
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,400
We need you alive.
Go easy, don't kill yourself.
652
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,240
- The target is Melbourne.
- Naim.
653
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,360
The Mayor of Kardzali
is inviting you to a ceremony.
654
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:00,640
You're excused for tomorrow.
655
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,320
TOWN HALL - KARDZHALI
656
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,600
{\an8}We are saluting our special guest.
657
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,080
You're the pride of Kardzali.
658
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,960
We're proud of your achievements.
Let's hear it for him.
659
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:31,680
Now he's taking another step
that will also make us all very proud.
660
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:36,320
He's leaving his Turkish name behind
and adopting his new name.
661
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,560
Let's give Naum Shalamanov
a round of applause.
662
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:54,520
"Naum...
663
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,280
Shalamanov"?
664
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,400
Here you go.
665
00:52:04,799 --> 00:52:06,400
Another round of applause.
666
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,960
{\an8}ZORA
667
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,000
Morning, Comrade.
668
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:38,520
Morning.
669
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,360
Training will start late today.
670
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:47,240
Go on.
671
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,120
Go on. Come on.
672
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,280
Where are we going?
673
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,920
- The party headquarters.
- What are we going to do there?
674
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaking Turkish is prohibited, Comrade.
675
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,400
First, I will give you a fine
of five levs for that.
676
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,520
Then I will drop you
at the party HQ.
677
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,880
This is the text that you will read.
678
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,240
Let's start after you memorize it.
679
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,640
- Will we do a recording?
- Yes.
680
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:43,440
Do you have a pen?
681
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:45,600
For what?
682
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,760
- There are some mistakes here.
- Comrade...
683
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,240
everything that's in the text is correct.
684
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:06,240
These are not my words.
685
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,760
Sit down, Comrade Shalamanov.
686
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,160
Three, two, one, go.
687
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,320
Two, one, go.
688
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:47,840
It's normal...
689
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:51,240
that I took...
690
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,000
a Bulgarian name.
691
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,840
The Bulgarian Communist Party,
692
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:02,960
which rules the Republic of Bulgaria...
693
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:05,400
has made me...
694
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:08,880
has made me a champion.
695
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:17,480
That's why
I support the Bulgarian Communist Party.
696
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,160
I love and care for our country,
for Bulgaria.
697
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:54,880
Don't answer it.
698
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,680
I don't want to deal with the neighbors.
699
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:07,280
You stay right here.
700
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,600
{\an8}BULGARIA PRESIDENT
TODOR ZHIVKOV'S PALACE
701
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,720
Comrade Zhivkov, Comrade Shalamanov.
702
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,120
- Welcome, Shalamanov.
- Thank you, Comrade Zhivkov.
703
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:00,680
- How are you? Are you good?
- I'm fine.
704
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:01,720
Take a seat.
705
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,960
I saw your speech on TV yesterday.
I'm proud of you.
706
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:16,400
I've heard you train eight hours a day.
How can you take it, boy?
707
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:22,720
Every athlete who has high goals
should do the same.
708
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,360
I have high goals too.
Very high goals.
709
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,720
Having high goals is good.
710
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,960
You should know that our government
711
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,080
will provide you
with everything you need.
712
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,000
You can be sure of that.
713
01:00:57,960 --> 01:00:59,720
A HEROIC SON OF SOCIALIST BULGARIA
714
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,320
They're using you.
715
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,200
Let them believe that.
716
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,160
You asked me about my weapon,
remember? I know what my weapon is now.
717
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,720
The whole world will know
what's going on here.
718
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:20,720
Will your voice be loud enough?
719
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,080
I've planned everything, man.
720
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:26,680
- Listen--
- Don't!
721
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,960
Don't. Never tell me,
nor anyone, anything.
722
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:44,560
Why did you want to meet?
723
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:46,720
I need to learn something.
724
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:49,720
Do you know Rasim from Sedefche?
725
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,360
Yes.
726
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,480
- How do you know Rasim?
- I ran into him.
727
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,480
I'll be off to Melbourne tomorrow,
he'll help me there.
728
01:01:58,280 --> 01:01:59,960
I said, don't tell me, boy!
729
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:01,600
I'll be careful.
730
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,480
I'm not sure if being careful is enough.
731
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,680
Your Naim came,
and you made the chicken.
732
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:17,240
Of course. My son is here.
733
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,560
We only eat potatoes.
But for Naim, you serve chicken.
734
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,400
It's not easy to lift those weights.
He must eat well.
735
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,520
Then I should join the National Team
too, Mom.
736
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,520
- I will break all the records.
- Can you imagine competing against him?
737
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,440
- You can't beat him.
- He can't beat me, Dad.
738
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,480
- He'll eat you like chicken.
- My big bro.
739
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:16,840
Naim?
740
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,600
I couldn't sleep,
so I've decided to put my bag in the car.
741
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,440
What's wrong with you, Naim?
742
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:40,040
I'm fine, Mom.
743
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,200
I was wrong then.
744
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:50,320
There's a girl.
745
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:53,280
A beautiful girl.
746
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,720
She's getting into my head a little bit.
747
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,400
It shows. I noticed that.
748
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,160
When did you grow up?
749
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,600
You've grown
and you've gotten into big things.
750
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,440
What did I get into, Mom?
I just do my job.
751
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,760
Go ahead. Godspeed.
752
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,120
Go and come back safe and sound.
753
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,520
Have a safe journey.
754
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:00,920
You kiss them goodbye for me.
755
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,400
I couldn't bring myself to do it.
756
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,840
I couldn't say goodbye to them.
757
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,880
It feels as if I'll come back here
and play in the yard tomorrow.
758
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,000
I miss you so much, Mom.
759
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,240
My little lamb.
760
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,600
My little lamb.
761
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,720
My sweet boy.
762
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:10,640
Don't you worry about us.
763
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,920
Look, you have some
heavy lifting to do.
764
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,320
You eat well over there.
765
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:22,520
Eat well.
766
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,080
{\an8}MELBOURNE, 1986
767
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,120
{\an8}WORLD WEIGHTLIFTING CHAMPIONSHIP
AUSTRALIA
768
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,840
Here, we found them.
769
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,840
Boys, grab your luggage.
Let's meet at the reception area.
770
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,080
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
771
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,800
We're here to bring an athlete
to the embassy.
772
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:54,760
Naum Shalamanov.
773
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:56,760
Yes?
774
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,680
You're coming to the embassy with us.
775
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,960
- Where?
- To the embassy.
776
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,480
- Don't be scared.
- Okay.
777
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,560
Welcome, the hero of the Balkans!
778
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,000
Hello.
779
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:38,240
Welcome.
780
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:39,920
Welcome.
781
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:42,120
Welcome.
782
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:53,360
{\an8}EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
783
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:24,920
You will stay here.
784
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:27,440
But the entire team is at the hotel.
785
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,360
You will be competing in two days.
786
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:10,760
Go on, move, move.
787
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:14,840
Bravo! Bravo!
788
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,720
- Bravo!
- Come here! Bravo, my boy!
789
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:22,640
You will train and you will win.
790
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,280
Keep going.
791
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:34,720
Did he get it?
792
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:53,120
Come on, let's go.
793
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:00,600
Hand over your passport.
794
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:03,560
Passport.
795
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:56,400
Bulgarian heroes!
796
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:58,160
Bulgarian heroes!
797
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,480
Come on, all together!
Bulgarian heroes!
798
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,400
Bulgarian heroes!
799
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:09,560
Bulgarian heroes!
Bulgarian heroes!
800
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:11,800
Bravo.
801
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,280
Please accept this small gift.
802
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:15,600
Thank you.
803
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,960
Congrats. Congrats.
804
01:12:20,440 --> 01:12:21,760
Congrats.
805
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:26,520
Congrats. Good night.
806
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:32,200
Bulgarian heroes!
807
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:41,840
They're not drinking, bro.
808
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:03,800
Fill the glasses!
809
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:24,640
Go out the back door. It's open.
White car. Waiting for you.
810
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:28,240
Bulgarian heroes!
811
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:03,160
Why are you not drinking?
812
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:05,560
Am I to drink with you?
813
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:12,920
I'll call him now.
814
01:15:14,440 --> 01:15:15,400
Naim.
815
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:18,280
Come here, boy.
816
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:33,720
Hey! That's a shame, now.
Come on!
817
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:40,320
- These are our friends from Bulgaria.
- You are a hero.
818
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,040
I've been training him for a long time.
819
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,440
I have to go now. Good night.
820
01:17:00,480 --> 01:17:02,000
Would you guys like some wine?
821
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:06,200
- Please. Let's drink together.
- No.
822
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:08,720
- No.
- No, thanks.
823
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,200
A little. Just a sip.
824
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:17,080
Come on.
825
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:18,360
Naum!
826
01:17:18,440 --> 01:17:20,440
Naum has escaped! Run!
827
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:52,000
Naim!
828
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:54,920
Bro, move it! They're after me!
829
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,440
Stop! They've kidnapped our athlete!
830
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,360
The cops are coming.
831
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:11,520
I knew they were going to cause trouble.
832
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,480
Bro! Bro! Bro!
833
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,440
- They're the spies.
- We'll outrun them.
834
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:07,440
Lights! The lights are red!
Red!
835
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:26,400
That was so close, bro.
836
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,240
All right then.
837
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,800
We're good for now.
You'll move to the other car.
838
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:00,040
Who are they?
I don't know them.
839
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:05,600
Patriot friends who live in Melbourne.
Don't worry. They're from Turkey.
840
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:12,920
This is the second year the Bulgarians
have seen me around the team.
841
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,400
They will find my home, my address.
Everything.
842
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:18,120
They saw the car too.
We need to split up.
843
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:19,920
Go on. Go.
844
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:25,800
Where will they take me?
845
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:29,560
- I don't know.
- What do you mean?
846
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:34,120
- You just said you've talked to them.
- Naim, the cops will find me.
847
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:36,040
It's better that I don't know.
848
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:39,960
That's why we've agreed on this.
Come on, Naim. Go.
849
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:50,280
- Will I see you again, Brother Rasim?
- Naim, come on. Go.
850
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:02,440
Hi.
851
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:05,520
Welcome to your country, Brother Naim.
852
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,960
- Thanks, brother.
- Don't worry, now.
853
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,240
Nobody can take you
without taking our lives first.
854
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:55,840
I couldn't thank him.
855
01:21:59,480 --> 01:22:00,560
What?
856
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,080
I couldn't thank Brother Rasim.
857
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:08,520
You've caused an uproar, brother.
858
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:15,320
The biggest thank you would be
you getting to Turkey safe and sound.
859
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:20,960
Normally this place is very quiet.
860
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,080
The biggest fuss
must be around that restaurant now.
861
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:26,960
Let's pass through there, okay?
862
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:29,560
Okay.
863
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,480
Let's have our photo taken for a keepsake.
864
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,960
- Ask the cops for autographs.
- Don't start now, for God's sakes.
865
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,360
Let's pass through there.
What will you do at your house?
866
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:46,200
Silence, and more silence.
867
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,720
He's so small.
How could he lift those weights?
868
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:22,560
Ah, stop it...
869
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:38,760
Hello.
870
01:23:40,480 --> 01:23:42,800
You're awake already, Brother Naim?
Good morning.
871
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,640
Just go to the guest room.
I put breakfast on the large table.
872
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:47,080
Thank you.
873
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:48,720
Good morning, tiger.
874
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:50,320
- Morning.
- Morning.
875
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:52,240
- Morning, Naim.
- Go sit at the table.
876
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:54,040
Did you sleep well?
877
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:55,720
- Yes, brother.
- Good.
878
01:23:59,440 --> 01:24:02,600
I've cooked eggs with tomato for you,
to make you feel at home.
879
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:05,200
We all like eggs this way.
880
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,880
You'll be so good for our country,
Brother Naim.
881
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:15,600
He will, hopefully, he will.
882
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,760
- Serve yourself, man.
- Thank you very much.
883
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,240
The Sofia team has departed immediately.
884
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:30,160
Moscow is sending a special KGB unit.
We will find him, Mr. Zhivkov.
885
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:33,440
You losers!
886
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,120
A bunch of losers!
887
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:44,920
It would've been better
if 500,000 Turks had escaped...
888
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,320
instead of Naim.
889
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,120
{\an8}The boy seeks political asylum.
890
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:02,080
Why can't you pick him up from here?
That's what I'm asking. I don't get it.
891
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:06,360
We can't send a private vehicle
to pick up every refugee.
892
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,240
Bring him to the embassy,
and we'll process him.
893
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:11,800
- You don't seem to understand me.
- I do understand, sir.
894
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:14,400
Everyone is looking for this boy.
The Soviets, Bulgarians.
895
01:25:14,480 --> 01:25:17,440
Even the Australian police.
How can I bring him to you?
896
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:22,920
I'm trying to get to Turkey.
897
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,200
You left Turkey.
898
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:26,880
It's been six years.
899
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:29,560
That's a long time.
Why did you leave?
900
01:25:30,440 --> 01:25:32,240
So I wouldn't shoot my aunt's son.
901
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,480
They've pitted brother against brother.
902
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,520
They made everyone an enemy
back in Turkey, Brother Naim.
903
01:25:40,440 --> 01:25:43,680
I hadn't seen him for a while.
Then I ran into him on the street.
904
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:45,560
I saw a gun on his waist.
905
01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:47,760
I had one too.
906
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:50,720
One of us is a rightist.
And the other is a leftist.
907
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:55,120
Then there was the September 12 coup.
908
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:58,680
I escaped from Turkey
in November 1980.
909
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:01,720
They broke the ones left behind
very badly.
910
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:03,840
So, Brother Naim,
they officially changed your age
911
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:05,920
for you to attend the Olympics?
912
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:09,000
They did the same thing to a 17-year-old
kid back in Turkey.
913
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:10,960
So they could hang him.
914
01:26:15,910 --> 01:26:19,640
It's not happening.
They can't send a vehicle.
915
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:24,120
He must go to the Embassy
by himself.
916
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:27,120
- But how can he go outside?
- How should I know?
917
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:32,880
There's only one way.
918
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,240
- We'll call Ankara.
- Maybe we should call Arif from Belgium.
919
01:26:39,480 --> 01:26:42,240
Okay, everyone,
take out your phone books.
920
01:26:42,480 --> 01:26:45,520
Let's see who we can contact.
Officials, bureaucrats, reporters...
921
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,720
Earlier today, I personally
spoke with Mr. Zhivkov.
922
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,920
He suggests that we accept
the Soviet Intelligence's help
923
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,760
without losing too much time
with the red tape.
924
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:59,520
The KGB is ready to assign field agents
to the Naum Shalamanov case.
925
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:01,360
It's not just Bulgaria's problem.
926
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:02,520
Thank you.
927
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,640
{\an8}- He must be picked up, Mr. Nesim.
- He can't go out on the streets here.
928
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,960
- His picture is all over the TV.
- Intelligence agencies are after him.
929
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:13,040
Of course you didn't hear about it
over there.
930
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:16,120
- He's been with us for three days.
- We've changed four houses already.
931
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,800
- Everything will be over in two days.
- We need a car with diplomatic plates.
932
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:22,040
- A car with diplomatic plates.
- We need immunity.
933
01:27:23,440 --> 01:27:26,240
{\an8}DECEMBER 11, 1986
TURKISH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEETING
934
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,320
Sir, Naim Suleymanoglu
is in Australia.
935
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:31,520
- We need to take care of it.
- Naim?
936
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:33,200
- In Australia?
- Yes.
937
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:35,480
Can.
938
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,280
- Sir?
- You need to take care of this.
939
01:27:42,440 --> 01:27:43,520
Yes, sir.
940
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:53,520
- Naim.
- Get up, brother.
941
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:54,920
Get up.
942
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:56,720
Get up, brother. It's time to leave.
943
01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:00,480
- My man, it's good news.
- We took care of it, boy.
944
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:03,240
Now, go to Turkey
and put everyone's mind at ease.
945
01:28:03,440 --> 01:28:05,920
- Thank you.
- Our country needs morale. Go on, tiger.
946
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,640
- Thank you.
- An official car came for you.
947
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:10,720
You'll go in an official car.
948
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:17,000
We'll go to the embassy first.
You'll be our guest tonight.
949
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,320
We are preparing your passport now.
950
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,160
- You will fly to Ankara through London.
- Thank you very much, Consul.
951
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,200
The team that will meet you in London
has already departed from Ankara.
952
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:27,400
Darn it!
953
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,360
- What happened?
- Sister Ayse.
954
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:31,920
- Sister Ayse?
- She wasn't home when I left.
955
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,320
I couldn't say goodbye to her.
And I didn't thank her either.
956
01:28:34,440 --> 01:28:35,440
Damn!
957
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:42,400
It's with sadness that I say Turkish
terrorists have kidnapped our athlete.
958
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:45,840
With the help of the Australian police,
I'm sure we will find him...
959
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:47,280
He has escaped!
960
01:28:47,480 --> 01:28:48,760
Naim has escaped!
961
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:50,320
Naim has escaped!
962
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:54,400
- What? He escaped?
- Naim has escaped! He made it!
963
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:57,160
Naim has escaped!
964
01:28:57,400 --> 01:28:58,440
He has escaped!
965
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,400
Naim has escaped!
966
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:01,880
Naim has escaped!
967
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:04,600
- The weightlifter.
- Naim has escaped!
968
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:09,440
He made it!
969
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:11,600
The weightlifter!
970
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:25,560
Come here.
971
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:29,440
They will take us to the police station
for sure.
972
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:32,320
They will interrogate us.
973
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:36,680
- What will you say to them?
- That he's been kidnapped.
974
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:39,160
- Right.
- It's impossible.
975
01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:41,080
Naim wouldn't do it.
976
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:42,880
You won't say Naim!
977
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,040
It's Naum.
978
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:47,760
You will say Naum.
979
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:50,680
Naum.
980
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:56,080
If you say Naim,
they'll beat the hell out of you.
981
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,480
Don't forget your own names
and your mother's name.
982
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,280
Tell me.
What's her name?
983
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:07,200
- Anastasia.
- Anastasia.
984
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:14,320
- What's your name?
- Ratko Stilanov.
985
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,280
- Yours?
- Mavric Stilanov.
986
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:28,640
Hatice.
987
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,520
I will never ever call you Anastasia.
988
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:43,160
Hatice.
989
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,720
{\an8}MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
AUSTRALIA
990
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:49,560
{\an8}The Bulgarian government
claims that you've been kidnapped.
991
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:52,880
The Australian police want to make sure
you're leaving of your own accord.
992
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,400
They'll question you,
and then you'll be on your way.
993
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:01,760
Gentlemen.
994
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:07,680
He's asking whether you're going to Turkey
of your own accord.
995
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:13,480
Is there any threat?
Is anybody forcing you to do this?
996
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:16,880
In Kardzali,
in all of Bulgaria as matter of fact,
997
01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:19,720
we're under a lot of pressure.
They've changed our names.
998
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:21,960
- Many people have died.
- Enough.
999
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:24,360
The Bulgarian government
is not on trial here.
1000
01:31:25,480 --> 01:31:26,960
Every time I get a medal,
1001
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:28,960
every time they stick a microphone
in my face,
1002
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:31,360
I want to tell them about your
persecution. That's why I'm going.
1003
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:34,520
- Speak Bulgarian.
- You're hiding it.
1004
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,920
You don't let TVs in.
I will tell them about it.
1005
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,800
I'm going there to defend the rights
of two million Turks in Bulgaria.
1006
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:44,920
There are one million Turks in Bulgaria.
Not two.
1007
01:31:45,480 --> 01:31:48,720
That's something. Up until yesterday,
you were saying there were no Turks.
1008

Welcome, Naim.
I'm Ben Can Pulak.

Welcome, Naim. Selim Egeli.
We are the advisors to the Prime Minister.

Mr. Ambassador.
1015
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:54,480
Hello and welcome.
1016
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:56,160
- Welcome.
- Hello.
1017
01:32:56,560 --> 01:33:00,280
I am Rahmi Gumrukcuoglu.
Republic of Turkey's London Ambassador.
1018
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:02,200
Here you're on Turkish soil.
1019
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:05,480
So, welcome to your homeland, Naim.
1020
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:07,080
Thank you.
1021
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:08,880
- Did you inform him?
- We did, sir.
1022
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:10,320
- Patch me through now.
- Yes, sir.
1023
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:12,920
Our prime minister
would like to talk to you.
1024
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:14,880
Turgut Ozal?
1025
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:18,000
Yes. Our prime minister, Turgut Ozal.
1026
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:20,000
Please.
1027
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:44,240
Mr. Can.
1028
01:33:45,440 --> 01:33:46,840
We need to be cautious.
1029
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,880
The English police warned us
about an assassination attempt.
1030
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:53,800
The Bulgarian Intelligence
are working with the KGB.
1031
01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:57,680
Last year, the Bulgarian Secret Service
made an umbrella-looking...
1032
01:33:58,520 --> 01:33:59,600
Naim?
1033
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:01,800
- Do you need anything?
- No.
1034
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:04,160
Okay.
1035
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:09,320
With guns looking like umbrellas,
the Bulgarian Secret Service
1036
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:13,120
has recently killed two defectors.
1037
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,560
One of which actually took place
here in London.
1038
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,160
Just two blocks away from here.
By the subway exit.
1039
01:34:22,440 --> 01:34:24,880
- Who are they?
- Naim...
1040
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:29,480
I guess the airline leaked the information
that you're here.
1041
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,640
So, everyone knows
you're here at the embassy.
1042
01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:34,880
Those are reporters outside.
1043
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,320
But the Bulgarian Intelligence
is among them.
1044
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:39,080
And the KGB supports them.
1045
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,320
Naum Shalamanov is a traitor.
1046
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:44,280
His country has given him so much,
and yet he decided to defect.
1047
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,400
"Because I'm a patriot,
I have killed him of my own free will.
1048
01:34:47,480 --> 01:34:49,080
I didn't receive any orders."
1049
01:34:51,440 --> 01:34:54,320
"Because I'm a patriot,
I've killed him of my own free will.
1050
01:34:54,440 --> 01:34:55,960
I didn't receive any orders."
1051
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:02,960
- Mr. Ambassador.
- Naim, come.
1052
01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:05,600
Meet our chef, Saban Erdem.
1053
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:10,480
Naim, we have a plan to save you
from the crowd outside.
1054
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:12,760
Chef Saban is your double.
1055
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:16,320
We'll dress him like you.
We'll send out two cars first.
1056
01:35:16,440 --> 01:35:18,800
Chef Saban will be in one of them.
1057
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:22,120
Hopefully when the reporters
chase that car,
1058
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:25,080
we'll secretly take you to Heathrow
in another car.
1059
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:26,400
Okay?
1060
01:35:29,160 --> 01:35:31,360
What if Bulgarian spies target him?
1061
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:36,520
My dear Naim,
I'd give my eye to protect you.
1062
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:40,320
If you don't give me that honor,
1063
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,840
I will haunt you forever.
You just relax.
1064
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:55,880
Okay. Chef Saban, good luck.
1065
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:32,480
Wonderful, wonderful.
1066
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:50,600
Stay down, Naim.
1067
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:53,800
I'll let you know when we're near
the tourist sights.
1068
01:37:05,440 --> 01:37:08,640
There's an important issue.
In order to reach Turkey,
1069
01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:11,400
we need to cross Bulgarian
or Greek airspace.
1070
01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:13,800
It's obvious we can't cross
Bulgarian airspace.
1071
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:15,400
If we enter Greek airspace,
1072
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:18,880
we need to report to them who we are
and our intended destination.
1073
01:37:21,480 --> 01:37:23,840
What if Greece allows us
into their airspace...
1074
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:26,800
but then forces us to land?
1075
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:29,720
They might land the plane,
take Naim and deport us.
1076
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:33,640
Capturing Naim would be
diplomatic leverage for them.
1077
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:35,840
We need to speak with the Prime Minister.
1078
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:38,360
We will fly 45 minutes
into Greek airspace.
1079
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:40,760
- And?
- We can turn the transponder off
1080
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:42,000
and perform a blind flight.
1081
01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:45,680
And what can the Greeks do?
1082
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:48,320
- They might not notice us.
- Good.
1083
01:37:48,480 --> 01:37:50,040
They might notice us,
and force us to land.
1084
01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:53,840
- What if we don't land?
- There are two Greek F-4's
1085
01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:57,160
patrolling constantly over the Aegean Sea
for situations like this.
1086
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:07,520
We will fly blind.
1087
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:23,480
We're in Greek airspace.
1088
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:32,760
We've been informed that communication
has been cut off,
1089
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:35,440
but they're landing in Ataturk
at 12:30 p.m.
1090
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:37,440
Let's bring them here.
1091
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:40,320
- Have them land at Murted and be discreet.
- Yes, sir.
1092
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:52,200
Naim, wouldn't you miss us?
1093
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:55,800
Do you want to go to Kardzali?
1094
01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:58,080
Aren't you scared?
1095
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:01,160
What are you gonna do there all alone?
1096
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:06,360
This is your captain speaking.
1097
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:08,160
Mr. Naim Suleymanoglu,
1098
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:12,080
my friends who wish to say welcome to you
are just outside your window.
1099
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:14,200
Mr. Naim Suleymanoglu,
1100
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:16,400
we, the Braves Fleet,
in charge of your safety,
1101
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:19,120
are right beside you,
and greeting you.
1102
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:21,760
Welcome to your country,
to your homeland
1103
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,440
and the land of the Republic of Turkey.
1104
01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:27,680
I am the fleet commander,
Lt. Colonel Eren Bulbul.
1105
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,120
In about 35 minutes,
we'll be delivering you
1106
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:33,000
to Ankara Murted Airport
safe and sound.
1107
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:37,280
You will meet your fellow countrymen
who are eagerly waiting to welcome you.
1108
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:27,680
GENCLIK PARK
1109
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:33,840
Now, dear members of the press,
1110
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:37,320
let's take a short break
on the financial topics for now.
1111
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:39,840
I would like to introduce you to someone.
1112
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:04,520
Dad! Dad! Naim!
Turn on the TV!
1113
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:16,480
- Naim.
- Thank goodness.
1114
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:18,000
Naim, thank God.
1115
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:20,320
My Naim.
1116
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:23,600
My little lamb. Look at him.
1117
01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:25,800
Look.
1118
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:27,440
Was the plane comfortable?
1119
01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:29,600
I sent you my private jet.
1120
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:31,320
It was very comfortable.
1121
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:34,240
Okay, any questions?
1122
01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:36,440
I would like to say something.
1123
01:41:38,440 --> 01:41:40,800
At the end of 1984, in Bulgaria,
1124
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:43,280
they forced us Turks
to change our names.
1125
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:45,760
He says they've changed their names.
1126
01:41:46,440 --> 01:41:47,800
They closed down the mosques.
1127
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:49,480
They closed down the mosques.
1128
01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:55,920
They wanted to make us forget
we are Turks in a single year.
1129
01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:58,400
- My boy!
- My Naim.
1130
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:00,440
My little lamb.
1131
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:03,000
My little lamb.
1132
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:05,000
Way to go, boy.
1133
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:08,360
Look at my boy.
1134
01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:11,680
I escaped so I could tell the world.
1135
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:17,720
Now I'm very happy
to tell you all about it.
1136
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:21,240
I want everyone to hear.
1137
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:25,440
They've persecuted us.
1138
01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:03,520
Wouldn't you miss us?
1139
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,360
What are you gonna do there all alone?
1140
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:28,760
Let's go to the hospital first
and have you checked out.
1141
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:32,360
Then we'll go shopping for clothes
and check out the weightlifting gym.
1142
01:43:32,440 --> 01:43:33,760
Is there anything you want, Naim?
1143
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,360
What I told the reporters yesterday
at the press conference.
1144
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:39,000
Has it spread?
1145
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:41,960
I'll have all the newspapers
brought to you tonight.
1146
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:43,200
- Brother.
- What?
1147
01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:45,960
You know the alphabet is different.
Someone will help me, right?
1148
01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:47,280
Professor Yildiz Sunay
1149
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:49,720
with the Ankara University
Bulgarian Philology department
1150
01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:51,320
will teach you our alphabet.
1151
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:53,240
You'll check the newspapers together.
1152
01:43:53,480 --> 01:43:55,040
- Okay, son?
- Come on.
1153
01:43:56,240 --> 01:44:01,440
GULHANE MILITARY MEDICAL ACADEMY
1154
01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:13,000
This is where we train our team.
1155
01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:16,960
To be honest, weightlifting
is not a popular sport in our country.
1156
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:19,720
We're trying our best here.
1157
01:44:21,480 --> 01:44:25,560
We need to improve these conditions.
For the champion.
1158
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:30,520
It's in the headlines of five newspapers.
Everyone is so happy about your arrival.
1159
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:34,400
See, they found it odd that Mr. Ozal
was repeating what you were saying.
1160
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:37,520
They are saying,
"Ozal translated Turkish into Turkish."
1161
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:40,440
- Was it in the foreign press?
- Let's see.
1162
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:42,920
I don't speak German,
but it seems not.
1163
01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:45,200
It's not in the French newspapers either.
1164
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:47,560
Other newspapers...
1165
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:49,520
Looks like it's not.
1166
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:53,320
Are you okay?
1167
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:59,000
Turkey already knows
what's going on in Bulgaria.
1168
01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:03,240
I need the world to hear it,
not just the Turkish newspapers.
1169
01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:07,200
It's not easy, Naim.
1170
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:10,520
Because it was a press conference
1171
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:13,240
held in Turkey's capital
with Turkish reporters.
1172
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:15,520
To achieve what you want,
1173
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:18,160
you need to make yourself heard
in completely different places.
1174
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:21,600
Or else we'd only
be speaking to ourselves.
1175
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:23,080
Little Bro.
1176
01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:25,320
- Of course.
- What?
1177
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:26,920
Our family friend.
1178
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:29,120
When I told him what I would do,
1179
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,400
he asked me,
"Will your voice be loud enough?"
1180
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:37,680
Where should I speak
so the whole world can hear me?
1181
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:40,800
As Turkish people, we've longed for
sporting achievements for a long time.
1182
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:44,440
We haven't won a single Olympic gold medal
since the '60s.
1183
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:45,840
Naim could change this.
1184
01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:48,760
He won 17 gold medals
at international tournaments.
1185
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:50,400
He also holds six world records.
1186
01:45:50,480 --> 01:45:53,560
The only issue is that the International
Weightlifting Federation
1187
01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:56,840
has ruled he won't be able to compete
in any international event for a year.
1188
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:58,320
One year.
1189
01:45:58,440 --> 01:46:00,720
The Turkish weightlifting championship
in Antalya is next.
1190
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:04,960
- We can attend any domestic tournament.
- Just among us. Then what?
1191
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:08,760
Then Cardiff.
Cardiff is within the timeframe.
1192
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:12,360
- Cardiff is small. Then?
- There's the Seoul Olympics.
1193
01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:15,480
The Olympics. In two years.
Would that be enough for you?
1194
01:46:16,600 --> 01:46:19,400
The Olympic Games are big enough.
That would do.
1195
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:22,640
Yeah, but there's another issue there.
1196
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:25,200
Bulgaria has the right to veto you
for three years.
1197
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:31,160
Naim, we'll do our best.
1198
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:37,400
This is how we train.
1199
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:47,800
The rest is up to you.
1200
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,560
Naum Shalamanov
is a Bulgarian weightlifter.
1201
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:01,840
He's an athlete
raised by our socialist system.
1202
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:04,800
I don't think he will succeed in Turkey.
1203
01:47:05,480 --> 01:47:06,720
Dear viewers,
1204
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:11,160
as of today, Naim is cleared
to compete in international tournaments
1205
01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:13,360
representing Turkey.
1206
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:15,240
Destination Cardiff!
1207
01:47:15,440 --> 01:47:17,600

{\an8}CARDIFF SPORTS COMPLEX HOTEL
NATIONAL TEAM CAMP
1210
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:44,640
I keep thinking about
what the Americans are offering upstairs.
1211
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:48,920
We need to keep our ears up there, Arif.
1212
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:08,600
Hello, Naim. Mr. Cannigan says
the American Weightlifting Federation...
1213
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:10,360
- Has it started?
- Yes.
1214
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:12,080
Let's hope for the best.
1215
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:14,720
We have a fantastic proposal for you.
1216
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:19,920
This is your new car.
1217
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:29,200
Housing is also considered.
We will give you two houses.
1218
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:31,600
So you could live together
with your family.
1219
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:35,560
We have brought something for you.
1220
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:43,600
One million dollars, cash.
1221
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:52,760
Additionally, a check
for nine million dollars.
1222
01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:58,160
All you have to do
1223
01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:01,440
is defect to the United States
and join the National Team.
1224
01:49:02,440 --> 01:49:04,960
There will be sponsoring brands as well.
1225
01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:08,920
It's all yours.
1226
01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:11,320
We've taken every precaution.
1227
01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:15,320
If you say yes,
we'll take you to the embassy right away.
1228
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:17,680
We'll take care of everything.
1229
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:22,680
This is a very good proposal,
but I can't accept it.
1230
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:27,320
I want to be the voice of the people
who are persecuted in Bulgaria.
1231
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:31,640
I don't want to be the voice
for these brands. I owe a debt.
1232
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:35,000
I'll make sure what happens in Bulgaria
will be heard from the highest places.
1233
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:37,400
- What did he say?
- Is he with us?
1234
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,840
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a gold medal to win.
1235
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:42,800
- He said no.
- Kudos to him.
1236
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:44,680
His feet don't reach the floor.
1237
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,640
But he's just turned down
the American Dream.
1238
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:49,400
What else would he have to do?
1239
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:04,640
Let's go.
I need to stretch.
1240
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:06,960
Let's go, tiger.
1241
01:50:15,720 --> 01:50:19,280
- I'm two kilos over. Time for the sauna.
- Let's go. I'll come with you.
1242
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:28,680
{\an8}TURKEY
1243
01:50:50,480 --> 01:50:51,640
Thank you.
1244
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:57,200
It's the world record.
1245
01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:00,480
One hundred and eighty kilos!
This is a world record!
1246
01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:04,440
Naim Suleymanoglu
has won three gold medals.
1247
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:43,440
TURKISH REPUBLIC
WEIGHTLIFTING FEDERATION
1248
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:52,000
Mr. Arif.
1249
01:51:56,480 --> 01:51:57,560
Mr. Korhan.
1250
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:07,200
Mr. Arif is here.
1251
01:52:07,720 --> 01:52:09,240
You give the good news, Mr. Korhan.
1252
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:11,000
Welcome.
1253
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:17,040
Naim, are you all right?
Are you okay?
1254
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:18,080
Hello, guys.
1255
01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:19,640
- Mr. Korhan.
- You tell them, Arif.
1256
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:20,640
Where is Naim?
1257
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:22,400
He's not been feeling well
since this morning.
1258
01:52:22,480 --> 01:52:23,840
What do you mean?
1259
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:26,000
I have his medicine.
Please allow me.
1260
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:28,240
Naim.
1261
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:30,480
Naim.
1262
01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:33,760
Olympic Games.
Bulgaria withdrew their veto.
1263
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:37,120
It's a big surprise, Naim.
1264
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:40,200
Naim?
1265
01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:43,520
Oh, man...
1266
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:46,760
Naim! Gosh!
Call an ambulance!
1267
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:48,640
Naim! Naim!
1268
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,440
We need an ambulance. It's urgent.
1269
01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:56,680
Dysentery is a very serious illness.
1270
01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:59,960
And what Naim has is the worst kind.
1271
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:04,600
Naim's been training for the Seoul
Olympic Games since he first arrived.
1272
01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:07,200
He has dedicated himself to it.
1273
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:09,520
The Olympic Games are the pinnacle
for any athlete.
1274
01:53:10,600 --> 01:53:12,840
Mr. Ozal is also very keen on this.
1275
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:17,600
There's been a huge diplomatic battle
to force Bulgaria to withdraw their veto.
1276
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:22,080
I'm sure you all have heard how much
government funds we have spent on this.
1277
01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:25,080
He was criticized harshly for this.
1278
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:30,440
Naim winning an Olympic
gold medal today
1279
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:36,360
is very important for us all,
and for our country.
1280
01:53:37,280 --> 01:53:38,760
How can I say this?
1281
01:53:39,120 --> 01:53:43,280
He doesn't have the energy to lift
his arm, let alone the barbell.
1282
01:53:45,440 --> 01:53:46,520
Deep breaths.
1283
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:49,360
Don't let it out.
1284
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:52,680
You're recovering very slowly.
1285
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:56,400
- Can I go?
- You will die, Naim.
1286
01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:57,920
I can't die.
1287
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,440
What do you mean you can't?
If you leave, you die.
1288
01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:05,040
It is rumored that doctors were brought
from abroad to treat Naim,
1289
01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:08,880
and his condition is severe.
1290
01:54:09,280 --> 01:54:10,360
She said "severe."
1291
01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:12,680
After falling ill, Suleymanoglu
1292
01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:17,120
was brought to Gulhane
Military Medical Academy...
1293
01:54:17,360 --> 01:54:19,160
What hospital?
1294
01:54:20,480 --> 01:54:21,800
I don't understand.
1295
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:27,320
Why did they take my boy to a hospital
where nobody is allowed to enter?
1296
01:54:30,280 --> 01:54:33,400
I have to get out.
I haven't done anything yet.
1297
01:54:33,640 --> 01:54:35,720
Seoul is not the last Olympic Games.
1298
01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:39,240
Since Bulgaria gave the green light
they've all been...
1299
01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:41,440
They've all been eagerly waiting
for today.
1300
01:54:41,600 --> 01:54:42,720
What am I gonna do?
1301
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:45,800
Will I say, "Better luck next time"
to my fellow people?
1302
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:50,320
No doctor will authorize your discharge
from here, Naim.
1303
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:53,560
- Forget about it.
- I'll sign it.
1304
01:54:53,760 --> 01:54:55,200
What are you talking about?
1305
01:54:55,960 --> 01:54:58,440
I'll sign a waiver releasing the hospital
from any responsibility.
1306
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:03,120
I'll say I accept the risk of dying.
Then they would allow me to go.
1307

{\an8}BULGARIAN NATIONAL TEAM
OLYMPIC TRAINING CAMP
1308
01:55:08,160 --> 01:55:10,880
Did you hear about Naim?
He's been in the hospital for a month.
1309
01:55:11,120 --> 01:55:13,200
He can't possibly get in shape
for the Olympics,
1310
01:55:13,400 --> 01:55:15,920
even if he starts training today.
Congratulations.
1311
01:55:16,160 --> 01:55:17,720
THE MILITARY MEDICINE SCHOOL OF GÜLHANE
1312
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:23,200
- Mr. Naim, we wish you a speedy recovery.
- Will you be able to resume training?
1313
01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:27,280
- Look here for a moment.
- How do you feel?
1314
01:55:33,600 --> 01:55:35,720
- Where are we going?
- I thought it'd be better
1315
01:55:35,960 --> 01:55:38,680
if we took the main road.
You're sick. You need to recover.
1316
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:40,080
I'm going home?
1317
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:43,280
No, let's go to the gym.
1318
01:55:43,400 --> 01:55:45,680
- You're seriously being ridiculous, Naim.
- Brother.
1319
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:47,520
- At least today--
- Brother!
1320
01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:49,760
- Naim.
- We have 34 days left.
1321
01:55:53,960 --> 01:55:55,720
I don't like it one bit.
1322
01:55:57,320 --> 01:55:58,680
But let's go.
1323
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:12,320
If we're doing this,
1324
01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:15,880
- we need medical support here.
- You're right, Arif.
1325
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:20,920
Up!
1326
01:56:23,720 --> 01:56:26,320
One more time. Up!
1327
01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:32,160
Sir!
1328
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:41,920
You scared us.
1329
01:56:43,200 --> 01:56:44,640
Fifteen minutes.
1330
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:47,040
Excuse me?
1331
01:56:47,440 --> 01:56:49,800
I need to train three times.
At least for two hours each.
1332
01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:53,200
- I can only do it for 15 minutes.
- Two hours?
1333
01:56:54,160 --> 01:56:57,840
I'm holding an ambulance ready
at the door for you. You know that, right?
1334
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:01,520
- Brother.
- Yes?
1335
01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:06,240
Going home is not working out for me.
Maybe we can put a in bed here.
1336
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:07,920
So I wouldn't need to go home.
1337
01:57:08,440 --> 01:57:10,840
- You mean here?
- Yes.
1338
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:12,560
And you will stay here for a month?
1339
01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:15,640
A plain bed.
In here or in the locker room.
1340
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:17,240
Are you crazy, Naim?
1341
01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:22,120
- Please, brother.
- Doctor?
1342
01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:27,400
Lift! Lift!
1343
01:57:27,880 --> 01:57:29,480
- Bravo!
- Lift!
1344
01:57:29,640 --> 01:57:31,360
- Lift!
- Bravo!
1345
01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:34,920
Lift! Hold it! Don't drop it! Bravo!
1346
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:30,160
Honey.
1347
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:33,280
Honey!
1348
01:58:38,920 --> 01:58:40,600
Honey, I'm not feeling well.
1349
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:09,280
Hatice...
1350
01:59:10,640 --> 01:59:12,160
give yourself strength.
1351
01:59:19,080 --> 01:59:22,560
{\an8}FIVE DAYS
TO SEOUL OLYMPIC GAMES
1352
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:26,600
That's 160 kg.
1353
01:59:30,440 --> 01:59:31,560
Go, Naim.
1354
01:59:53,960 --> 01:59:57,320
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to South Korea,
1355
01:59:57,560 --> 01:59:59,560
the land of peace, tranquility
and freedom.
1356
01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:03,880
We are proud to host all the people
of the world in our capital city, Seoul.
1357
02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:06,880
The Olympics are a unifying
and universal event
1358
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:09,080
that brings the whole world together.
1359
02:00:10,880 --> 02:00:14,200
The place where people prove themselves
in the best possible way,
1360
02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:17,080
with their physical and mental abilities.
1361
02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:20,400
Today, September 17, 1988,
1362
02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:23,640
we are honored to have the shadows
of the Olympic Rings
1363
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:25,440
cast upon our country.
1364
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:27,760
This is the fourth day
of the Olympic Games,
1365
02:00:27,960 --> 02:00:30,200
and the weightlifting competition
is about to start.
1366
02:00:30,360 --> 02:00:34,960
Naim Suleymanoglu is expected to be
on the podium this afternoon.
1367
02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:39,760
The Bulgarians arrived before us, Arif.
1368
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:42,400
- They've already started warm-ups.
- Yeah.
1369
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:46,320
Stefan, we are next.
1370
02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:53,760
The Bulgarian National Team
is putting Stefan Topurov against Naim.
1371
02:00:56,280 --> 02:00:59,600
Topurov is in a higher weight class
than Naim.
1372
02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:03,160
However, to make sure their strongest
athlete is facing Naim,
1373
02:01:03,240 --> 02:01:07,480
the Bulgarian National Team
has decided to change weights
1374
02:01:07,680 --> 02:01:11,280
and put Topurov in the Olympic Games
at the 60 kg weight class.
1375
02:01:13,120 --> 02:01:16,480
Topurov is attempting 137.5 kilos.
1376
02:01:16,840 --> 02:01:19,200
If he succeeds,
he'll break the Olympic record.
1377
02:01:27,160 --> 02:01:28,840
Topurov lifts it.
1378
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:32,720
Bravo! There you go! Bravo!
1379
02:01:33,040 --> 02:01:36,160
Success for Topurov.
This is an Olympic record.
1380
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:43,520
Now it's Naim's turn.
He'll be attempting to lift 145 kilos.
1381
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:48,320
Naim, we're thinking it'd be better
not to start with such a heavy weight,
1382
02:01:48,480 --> 02:01:51,520
but try a lesser weight
to guarantee a medal first.
1383
02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:53,640
Let's not take this risk, son.
1384
02:01:55,440 --> 02:01:57,080
I can't miss this chance.
1385
02:01:58,040 --> 02:02:00,200
I have to be the biggest news
that I can be.
1386
02:02:01,280 --> 02:02:03,240
Every lift should be a record.
1387
02:02:05,440 --> 02:02:07,920
With each record, my name
is closer to the main headlines.
1388
02:02:08,360 --> 02:02:10,880
And my voice heard from a higher place.
1389
02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:15,480
- Trust me.
- An entire nation trusts you.
1390
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:18,440
Naim, who we have embraced as a nation,
1391
02:02:18,600 --> 02:02:21,720
will be representing Turkey
in the Olympic Games for the first time.
1392
02:02:21,840 --> 02:02:24,560
- Go, tiger.
- Go get 'em, boy.
1393
02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:27,760
He will be trying to get
the Olympic gold medal,
1394
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:30,320
which we've failed to get for 20 years.
1395
02:02:53,440 --> 02:02:55,400
- Come on, tiger!
- There's Naim!
1396
02:02:56,200 --> 02:03:00,240
Naim succeeds in front of billions,
dear viewers.
1397
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:02,320
That is an Olympic record.
1398
02:03:02,600 --> 02:03:06,200
Naim has earned our country an Olympic
record on his first attempt.
1399
02:03:06,720 --> 02:03:09,400
Topurov managed
to hold his Olympic record...
1400
02:03:09,560 --> 02:03:10,680
Concentrate.
1401
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:13,080
...for only a few minutes.
1402
02:03:16,600 --> 02:03:19,080
Topurov's turn.
1403
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:23,120
Hold! Hold!
1404
02:03:25,135 --> 02:03:28,175
Topurov has failed, dear viewers.
1405
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:31,360
It's going great.
Topurov couldn't lift it.
1406
02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:37,080
You'll succeed on your third attempt.
1407
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:42,640
Naim is going for 150.5 kilos.
If he succeeds,
1408
02:03:42,840 --> 02:03:44,840
it will be a World Record.
Come on, Naim!
1409
02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:58,680
Naim! World Record! World Record!
1410
02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:01,920
Naim Suleymanoglu
breaks the snatch world record
1411
02:04:02,080 --> 02:04:04,240
with 150.5 kilos, dear viewers.
1412
02:04:04,320 --> 02:04:05,800
Congratulations, Naim.
1413
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:10,800
Topurov is ready
for his third attempt.
1414
02:04:11,400 --> 02:04:14,880
And... And...
And he fails!
1415
02:04:15,680 --> 02:04:17,440
Topurov failed.
1416
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:22,440
Brother,
this is much bigger than Topurov.
1417
02:04:25,280 --> 02:04:27,320
Naim Suleymanoglu, 152.5...
1418
02:04:27,400 --> 02:04:28,880
What are you doing here?
1419
02:04:29,400 --> 02:04:30,960
Did my son break the world record?
1420
02:04:31,120 --> 02:04:32,680
You're up, you'll feel bad.
1421
02:04:32,920 --> 02:04:34,400
Feel bad for what?
1422
02:04:34,560 --> 02:04:36,960
That he won't be able
to break his own record?
1423
02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:38,920
Suleymanoglu is going for 152.5 kg...
1424
02:04:39,200 --> 02:04:43,280
He's his own opponent, right?
It doesn't matter if he lifts it or fails.
1425
02:04:43,880 --> 02:04:45,320
My boy will win either way.
1426
02:04:46,240 --> 02:04:47,360
That's right.
1427
02:04:47,560 --> 02:04:50,800
Dear viewers, in Seoul, South Korea,
1428
02:04:50,920 --> 02:04:54,800
a 21-year-old boy we love so much
1429
02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:57,240
has broken two World Records in snatch,
1430
02:04:57,360 --> 02:04:59,320
and one in clean and jerk.
1431
02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:02,280
This would've made four world records
including the grand total.
1432
02:05:02,560 --> 02:05:06,480
But Naim says, "No, it's not enough.
I will break another one."
1433
02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:08,280
{\an8}A mind-blowing number.
1434
02:05:08,960 --> 02:05:11,120
It's 190 kilos!
1435
02:05:11,440 --> 02:05:16,800
Naim Suleymanoglu is trying to lift three
times his own weight plus ten kilos.
1436
02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:19,680
Go get them, tiger.
You go, Naim.
1437
02:05:20,920 --> 02:05:23,280
You will lift it with your heart
and with your soul.
1438
02:05:23,520 --> 02:05:25,560
You will not think about anything else.
1439
02:05:26,120 --> 02:05:29,480
Those who stand in the shadows
won't have a shadow of their own, Naim.
1440
02:05:29,760 --> 02:05:32,120
You have to stand in the sun
to become a shadow yourself,
1441
02:05:32,320 --> 02:05:34,200
so the people can gather in your shadow.
1442
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:41,360
Suleymanoglu is attempting to lift
three times his own weight plus ten kilos.
1443
02:05:42,520 --> 02:05:45,920
- May God help you.
- May God help us all, brother.
1444
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:51,440
Go, tiger!
1445
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:53,960
Fifty-five million fans
in the home country.
1446
02:05:54,160 --> 02:05:57,720
Millions of Turks who live in Bulgaria
and the rest of Europe.
1447
02:05:57,880 --> 02:06:01,880
He's walking towards 190 kg
to become their hope and their pride.
1448
02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:07,560
Not only Turkey, but the entire world
is focused on this unbelievable event
1449
02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:09,240
at the Olympic Games.
1450
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:12,560
We're on the brink of greatness.
Come on, Naim.
1451
02:06:12,920 --> 02:06:14,480
Our prayers are with you.
1452
02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:06,400
World record, 190 kg!
Naim reaches an unbelievable peak.
1453
02:07:06,600 --> 02:07:09,040
Thank you, Naim Suleymanoglu.
1454
02:07:09,400 --> 02:07:13,160
This is Seoul! September 20, 1988.
1455
02:07:13,360 --> 02:07:16,080
A historic day.
We have witnessed history.
1456
02:07:16,320 --> 02:07:18,520
The weight was 190 kg.
1457
02:07:18,600 --> 02:07:21,360
And it was above a 60 kg boy.
1458
02:07:21,600 --> 02:07:23,920
A historic record has been set.
1459
02:07:24,080 --> 02:07:26,480
Naim has just turned the weightlifting
world upside down.
1460
02:07:28,160 --> 02:07:32,040
These are tears of joy.
The world's greatest,
1461
02:07:32,400 --> 02:07:35,360
Naim Suleymanoglu
breaks the world record.
1462
02:07:35,560 --> 02:07:36,880
Thank you, Naim.
1463
02:07:36,960 --> 02:07:38,520
That's my boy!
1464
02:07:39,120 --> 02:07:41,080
Naim, Naim, Naim...
1465
02:07:50,760 --> 02:07:54,000
He's the world champion!
He set the new world record!
1466
02:07:54,160 --> 02:07:56,960
{\an8}U.N. BUILDING
NEW YORK, USA
1467
02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:06,800
My name is Naim.
1468
02:08:07,760 --> 02:08:09,640
And my last name is Suleymanoglu.
1469
02:08:12,760 --> 02:08:15,120
You might lose everything
you have in life.
1470
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:17,080
Your home.
1471
02:08:17,640 --> 02:08:18,680
Your job.
1472
02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:21,800
And even your loved ones.
1473
02:08:23,960 --> 02:08:26,680
But the hardest thing you can lose in life
is your identity.
1474
02:08:28,600 --> 02:08:31,840
Two million Turks who live in Bulgaria
were forced to change their names.
1475
02:08:32,520 --> 02:08:34,760
They've been tortured and persecuted.
1476
02:08:35,960 --> 02:08:38,520
All we ever wanted was
to benefit from universal human rights
1477
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:41,400
like all the people in this world,
1478
02:08:41,600 --> 02:08:45,520
and to live freely with our own identities
in the land which we were born.
1479
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:48,200
If the Bulgarian Communist Party
fails to provide that,
1480
02:08:48,480 --> 02:08:53,120
they should let our people who live there
return to their homeland, to Turkey.
1481
02:08:53,760 --> 02:08:55,640
I am Naim Suleymanoglu.
1482
02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:59,800
From this day forward,
with each record I break,
1483
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:01,760
with each medal I win,
1484
02:09:01,840 --> 02:09:04,840
I will scream,
"Freedom, freedom, freedom!"
1485
02:09:07,080 --> 02:09:10,200
I will do this not only
for persecuted Turkish people,
1486
02:09:10,560 --> 02:09:13,760
but for everyone whose rights
have been taken away in Bulgaria.
1487
02:09:18,400 --> 02:09:23,040
Even knowing that I will die one day for
this, I will never silence my scream.
1488
02:09:27,560 --> 02:09:30,400
When you mention holidays,
it reminds me of my childhood.
1489
02:09:30,560 --> 02:09:34,720
Since I was little, I've never
been able to celebrate the holidays.
1490
02:09:34,880 --> 02:09:37,840
Today, I would like to be together
with my family.
1491
02:09:38,255 --> 02:09:43,375
I hope to celebrate my third holiday
period with my family now in 1989.
1492

NAIM SULEYMANOGLU PASSED AWAY
ON NOVEMBER 18, 2017.
1494
02:10:48,600 --> 02:10:51,560
{\an8}HIS LIFE MISSION WAS TO IMPROVE
HIS PEOPLE'S LIVES IN BULGARIA
1495
02:10:51,720 --> 02:10:55,360
{\an8}AND HE LIFTED UNLIFTABLE LOADS
AND PAID THE PRICE WITH HIS LIFE.
1496
02:10:55,440 --> 02:10:58,480
{\an8}HE WAS 50 YEARS OLD WHEN HE DIED.
WE ARE GRATEFUL, POCKET HERCULES.

FORCED THE BULGARIAN COMMUNIST PARTY
TO OPEN BULGARIA'S BORDERS.

Rest in peace.
1525
02:14:16,800 --> 02:14:18,680
I was named the strongest athlete
in the world.
1526
02:14:18,800 --> 02:14:21,240
This is not only for myself,
but for the entire Turkish Nation.
1527
02:14:21,360 --> 02:14:22,640
I'm thrilled with this award.
