Bizum Hoca

Bizum Hoca (Our Hodja) tells the story of Balck Sea villagers fighting against the construction of a hydroelectric power plant in the region. The temporary local imam, who is the leading character in the film, is probably based on a legendary imam who comes from the region. According to local lore, this guy is still known as 'the hodja from Of' (a district of Trabzon) and his sermons were said to be unpredictably witty and satirical as well as eloquent. (imdb)
