In a charity shop recently I found a sealed copy of this DVD thinking it might be a documentary about the island which I visited a few years ago. Having watched it, I couldn't believe it was a "made for TV" movie. It was excellent and deserves to be shown on a major British TV channel. It certainly tells the viewer more than the sanitised movie version of "Captain Corelli''s Mandolin" ever did, although the book itself was very good. It shows in quite graphic detail what the Italians and the Greeks suffered during the 2nd World War, not only on Cephalonia but Crete and elsewhere. In my opinion it is a "Must See" film.
