A Hidden Miracle on Athens' Busiest Street and a Thousand-Year Journey in the Heart of the Modern...
We embark on a journey in the heart of Athens, where history and the present intertwine.
The bustle of Ermou Street meets the silence of Panagía Kapnikaréa Church.
As we watch the changing of the guard in Syntagma Square, we feel the echoes of our War of Independence in the plaques on the wall.
In the Kolonaki district, we see modern Athens, and in the National Garden and Zappion, we see the elegance of the past.
The Panathenaic Stadium reveals traces of the first Olympics, and the Arch of Hadrian reveals a Roman legacy.
But the most striking moment…
Manolis Glezos, the young man who lowered the Nazi flag and raised the Greek flag on the Acropolis, was born on September 9, 1922—the day of Izmir's liberation.
This video depicts the fate of two peoples, their friendships and enmities, and the collective voice of one's resistance against the Nazis and the other's resistance against their occupying friends, echoing in the stones of Athens.
If you're ready, let's begin.
