The aim of the article is to analyse the propaganda aspect of a Turkish film series
Valley of the Wolves in reference to the category of liquidity coined by Bauman. The
article starts with a description of the key features of liquid modernity. Then, the
politicisation of the films is discussed, as well as the blurred line between reality and
fiction. Further, the ideological issues are highlighted, including neo-Ottomanism,
nationalism and anti-Semitism. The last part concerns the deep state, the grey area
between the official institutions and terrorist groups and mafia.
