The 'Ultra' fans of Istanbul's three biggest soccer clubs are known for their passionate rivalries. Yet after protests in 2012 led to a movement against the AK Party, something remarkable happened: the die-hard fans began fighting side-by-side to protect civilians from police, as 'Istanbul United'. With extraordinary footage from right in the fray, this is a rare insight to a powerful subculture.
