Kaisariani 1944 – They faced their last sunrise with courage. A true story of resistance and sacrifice.
Pantelis Voulgaris’s most recent film deals with one of the most important chapters of modern Greek history: the execution of 200 Greek resistance fighters by the German occupying forces on May 1st, 1944, in Kaisariani, as reprisal for the ambush of Nazis by the Greek Resistance. It takes us to the concentration camp of Chaidari, the period before Labor Day (May 1st), and introduces us to the people behind the tragic events. The leading character is 34-year-old Napoleon Soukatzidis, a Cretan born in Asia Minor, who had been arrested under the Metaxas dictatorship in 1936 and had been in prison and exile ever since.
Miami Jewish Festival
