Overview: The film presents the power of a steel, completely sinful Rome and at the same time, the courageous attitude and varied Christian action and mental superiority of the qualified military leader of Thessaloniki. Dimitrios' fiery deception and persecution of the faithful propose evangelical truth and morality, sacrificing everything for the faith, mainly leading young people to it. The patron saint of Thessaloniki remains a role model.
Overview: Melina Mercouri plays Maya, a jet-setting Greek actress who returns to her homeland to undertake the role of Medea. Searching for inspiration and clues as to how a mother could kill the children she loves, Maya discovers Brenda (Ellen Burstyn), a bible-spouting American woman serving time in an Athens prison for that very crime.
Overview: The days of May 1936 in Thessaloniki and the events that led to the bloody clashes between the tobacco workers and the army are described in this film in a clear way. The people are the protagonists, and the narrative does not insist on drama or exaggeration. Of particular importance is also the presentation of the way in which the country was led, through a specific plan, to the dictatorship of Metaxas, on August 4, 1936.
