To kokkino potami (2019)
A beautifully done, must watch, MASTERPIECE!
"To Kokkino Potami" AKA, "The Red River" is a stunningly done historical drama television series directed by Manousos Manousakis for OpenTV in 2019.
This series is a must watch historical drama masterpiece, based on the homonymous novel by Charis Tsirkinidis detailing the real events surrounding the Greek genocide,
The series follows the real-life story of a young couple from Pontos, a then Greek-populated region on the southern coast of the Black Sea during the 19th century.
This series painfully and historically accurate and sheds light on the past to the viewer regarding what happened during one of the most tragic times in history. The viewer connects with characters who stood up for themselves, who loved, who had faith and hope for a better future, never gave up and simply tried to survive.
The stunningly beautiful presentation of the scenes was achieved by the scenes that were full of emotion, and the beautiful music. The music had a way to sometimes give you hope and other times you would feel it so deeply it would bring you to tears. This series touches the viewers heart and soul, triggering a vast range of emotions in every single episode.100% recommended!
Smyrni mou agapimeni (2021)
A Remarkable & Stunningly Accurate Historical Drama
"Smyrna," "Smyrna, My Beloved," also known as "Smyrna, Agapimeni Mou" commemorates the 100th anniversary of the destruction of Smyrna.
A century after the catastrophe of Smyrna comes to life a moving drama about a Greek woman whose family diary recounts the 1922 burning of the cosmopolitan city of Smyrna where Greeks, Armenians, Arabs, Jews, and Turks once lived together harmoniously.
The legendary actress Mimi Denissi is the creative force behind the masterpiece. The film is based on her play, which ran in Athens for an astonishing three seasons and was seen by more than one million viewers. She co-wrote the script and stars in the film.
As someone with roots from Smyrna, this movie shares so many common stories with those that my ancestors have passed down for generations about the atrocities that happened 100 year ago. The film was made with stunning imagery and remarkable historical accuracy.
