Athens Resistance (1941-1944) (2018)

A documentary about the Resistance during the Nazi Occupation of Athens. Fourteen people recall memories from that period. It's a film about collective memory, about an entire people's struggle against Italian Fascists, German Nazis, and their Greek collaborators. Based on the testimonials of those who took part in the resistance, "The Partisans of Athens" sheds light on stories of struggle from the period of the great famine of '41-'42 to the liberation of Athens. The 14 protagonists create a mosaic of experiences, struggles and expectations of men and women who chose to stand against defeatism and collaboration with Nazism. Includes rare archival material, the original music score of drog_A_tek and footage of historic neighborhoods in today's Athens.
