Chios: Martyrdom and Resurrection of a People



Visuo-acoustically conveys the tragic atrocities and massacre of the Chian population by the Turks
Highly recommend this well-produced documentary film by historian and scholar Dr. Ìiljan Peter Ilich which includes rare and hard to find reproductions of paintings from the period as well as images of current Chios and features music of Lefteris Bournias complementing the film with an authentic Chian sound which serves to convey the lament of the loss via the use of clarinet taxims, zourna ottoman melodies as well as songs sung by the Chian Choir of St. Markella.

Η Σφαγή της Χίου είναι το θέμα ντοκιμαντέρ
