200 Years of Greece

The film is a documentary that imaginatively recounts two centuries of modern Greece. Based on archival material and evidence, it approaches the subject by highlighting not only moments from military and political history but also developments in science, the arts, and everyday life. Essentially, it seeks to show how, from General Makriyannis’s famous remark, “this is what we fought for,” through successes, adversities, and setbacks, Greece arrived at its present state: a modern, democratic, European nation.
