[edit]

During the 1999 Cannes Film Festival, Alinur Velidedeoğlu met by chance Billy Hayes, whose story about his life in a Turkish prison after his arrest for hashish smuggling inspired the hit film Midnight Express. Velidedeoğlu made an interview with Billy Hayes, in which Hayes expressed his disappointment with the film adaptation. He made the video available on YouTube, after being unable to broadcast it on Western television.[3]
