The Key role of Mustafa Doglu is brought to life by London based actor MEM FERDA in
this exciting investigative ITV 1 drama series, The WHISTLEBLOWERS.
MEM portrays the lead sinister baddie who is head of a group of Turkish gangsters.
Cold, ruthless and manipulative, Doglu stops at nothing to get what he wants. A dramatic
and very powerful role delivered with spellbinding authenticity.
Director Paul Gay through ivestigative research has managed to capture the real issues
of immigrant crime that is prevelant on the streets of London today.
A dramatic story line looking at a Turkish illegal immigrant who after being smuggled
through British customs is being blackmailed by the evil Doglu into
reluctantly shooting Doglu's main arch rival businessman in front of his innocent family.
Added to this, as the panic stricken gunman leaves the resturant two innocent passerby's
become entanged with him and one is accidentally shot.
All this master- planned by a Greek Cypriot Lawyer who's father had been killed in 1974
during the troubles and to which she had grown a hatred for Turks.
In an interview to LONDRA newspaper Mem Ferda expressed his reluctance of taking on such
a role that represents Turkish people as 'unfavourable'. However after analysing the character
in line with what the script writer intended and what the director wanted to portray it was
clear that Doglu is a man motivated by greed and irrespective of nationality his crimes
would still be commited. Doglu himself is a victim, manupilated by the troubled Greek lawyer
Anna Charteris played by Eve Polycarpou.

and uncoverign evidence that widespread corruption and government policies that have
enormouse implications for the future of a peaceful, multicultural society.
