Makronisos – Greek Civil War (working title)

Seventy two years have passed since the Greek Civil War ended and there has been no official reconciliation, or an inquiry into war crimes and missing people.

The filmmaker’s aim is to record victim’s stories during this dark period in Greece’s history and inform international audiences, so that history and the consequences of such evil human actions don’t repeat.

Through international screenings, the filmmaker also aims to call on relatives and friends of Makronisos survivors, to assist in creating a registry of names in honour of the men, women and children who were exiled, tortured and executed in Makronisos during the Greek Civil War.

The documentary will not only inform international audiences and the Greek diaspora but create a forum where victims and their families can connect and discuss their experiences, educate the community and introduce the history of the Greek Civil War in schools, as it’s been the best-kept secret within the Greek and international education system.

Through the power of visual storytelling of personal experiences during the Greek Civil War including exile, betrayal, persecution, torture, displacement, murder, the documentary not only gives victims and their families an opportunity to document their collective stories but to also provide them with a global voice in a world where these atrocities are repeating over and over again.
