This package includes both doc features that are available as part of the festival only online, "One Big Family" and "White Mountains". You may watch in any order. NOTE: When packaged together, viewership in France, Los Angeles, and San Francisco are excluded. These regions can still view "One Big Family" by selecting that film listing by itself.
During the Second World War, the White Mountains in Crete were a key spot for the country’s Resistance army to sabotage and fight back against the Nazis. And it was there in 1946, shortly after Greece was liberated, that a new guerrilla army formed from the remnants of the Resistance. But this time it was to fight a civil war – a supreme military, social and class confrontation the likes of which have never existed before.
Filmmaker Alexandros Papathanasiou travels to Crete to meet Lefteris Eliakis, a guerrilla fighter during the Civil War and a political prisoner for almost two decades. This insightful portrait conjures the ghosts of the Civil War – the maverick people, revolutionary politics, and breathtaking events that have shaped today’s Greece.
