March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation is Greek Independence Day. This movie is about the struggle of the Greek peoples to partially free themselves from the Ottoman Empire in the 1820s. There were villains on both sides. There were people with redeeming qualities on both sides. I love the way it was explained about how we remember things both at the beginning of the movie and at the end. Would love to read the story it is based on. Bravo!
