Sakaltutan: A Time of Change
- Synopsis
- Shot in a small village in Asiatic Turkey, the film shows how 30 years of economic change have transformed the life of the people. Incomes of farmers have risen and many now have cars and television sets. Tractors, fertilisers and better fodder were the sources of rural change, which has been promoted by governments. The cost of these productivity increases has been the consequent need for part of the rural labour force to migrate off the land. Most of them have had to travel to cities in Turkey and even abroad to Western Europe. But most emigrants have not broken their ties with their village; they have not sold their land but given it to their relatives to farm in their absence.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
