FRI 30 MAY
Coming Soon to
Pickwick Theatre
"VENIZELOS: THE STRUGGLE FOR ASIA MINOR" chronicles a decade in the
life and political career of Eleftherios Venizelos, one of Greece's
most influential statesmen of the modern era. Set against the backdrop
of Greece's tumultuous decade from the Balkan Wars to World War I, the
national schism, and the Asia Minor disaster, the documentary delves
into the challenges he faced and the pivotal role he played in shaping
Greece's destiny at the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.
Through a combination of cinematic reenactments, meticulously
researched archival footage, and interviews with experts from around
the world, the film provides an immersive experience that allows
viewers to witness Venizelos' journey of both triumph and defeat. By
presenting an emotionally engaging and historically accurate narrative,
the documentary paints a compelling portrait of this extraordinary
statesman at a critical historical moment.
As one of the few leaders of his time who possessed the ability to act
decisively and offer a clear vision for his country, Venizelos stands
out as a remarkable figure at the turn of the 20th century. While
opinions may differ on whether he truly merits Winston Churchill's
appraisal as "the greatest Greek since Pericles," his instrumental role
in shaping the course of Greece and the region for the next century
cannot be overstated.
"Venizelos: the Struggle for Asia Minor" presents a groundbreaking
exploration of Venizelos' legacy, making his story accessible to a
contemporary audience. By shedding new light on this statesman's
achievements in the face of monumental international upheavals, the
documentary offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal period in Greek
history that continues to resonate to this day.
