SineGöz draws a portrait of Boran, whose name Turkey heard in the 50s with the "Turkish Peace Lovers Association", as a successful and pioneering academic, a struggling pacifist, a socialist MP, the Chairman of the Workers' Party of Turkey, and a line soldier, and sheds light on the daily life of Turkey's first female party leader.
