The Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II (commonly referred to as Muhammad al-Fatih) is famous for many feats, most notably the conquest and opening of the city of Constantinople (now Istanbul) in 1453.

Learn about the story of one of the greatest Sultans in history and how he almost lost everything, putting his life and throne on the line for a dream that could have meant his demise. A tale of betrayal, hardship and ingenuity led to the most successful conquest since the time of the Rashidoon Caliphate nearly 700 years prior.

This documentary covers the key areas with actual footage of the locations where the Ottomans fought the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire) alongside explanations and the Historian's analysis of the events.

We undertook a 6 day trip to record the documentary at all locations with months of research and consultation with our research department prior to departing for the city, covering the Theodosian Walls, Galata Tower, Ayasofia, Seas of Marmara and more!

We document the Ayasofia with footage of the 'Basilica turned Museum turned Mosque' with a qualified tour guide who gives such detailed explanations that you most probably would never find on the internet. Find out why the Ottomans were so determined to conquer the land of the Romans and how it changed the political and religious landscape of the world forever.
