User Reviews

Great info and background on the people. I learned a lot I didn't know.

This was riveting to watch. I didn't know about all the Greeks had gone though. It was well done and very will researched. The presentation was perfect. I enjoyed seeing the extensive photos and historical shots that were in the film. I also loved how Billy Zane handled it. I wish I could see it again and tape it for myself to watch from time to time. :)

I think anyone of Greek extraction would enjoy and lean from this documentary.

The Greek people have a beautiful heritage and it showed the strength and passions that they carry from ancient times to now. Thanks for the film!
