Eleftherios Venizelos

Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος

Historical documentary, on the life and work of the great Greek politician who contributed decisively to the shaping of the physiognomy of modern Greece. Venizelos came to Athens in 1909, after the Goudios Movement, at the invitation of the Military Association and, upon assuming the prime ministership, clashed with the palace. The film follows the man's path, through recorded testimonies (cinematic newsreels, photographs, newspapers), from his beginnings in Mournies, Crete, until his death.
