Wiki.

Yol (pronounced [joɫ]; translated as The Way, The Road or The Path) is a 1982 Turkish film directed by Yılmaz Güney and Şerif Gören. The screenplay was written by Güney—who at the time was in prison—with detailed directing instructions, which were carried out by his assistant Gören. Later, after Güney escaped from Imrali prison, took the negatives of the film to Switzerland and later edited it in Paris.

The film is a portrait of Turkey in the aftermath of the 1980 Turkish coup d'état: its people and its authorities are shown via the stories of five prisoners given a week's home leave. The film has caused much controversy in Turkey, and was banned until 1999. However, it won numerous honours, including the Palme d'Or at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival. It also was selected as the Swiss entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 55th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
