Topping off these awards, the documentary also won Honourable Mention for best documentary at the London Greek Film Festival.
A million Greeks were exterminated in the Turks mad drive to create a “Turkey for the Turks” – there was no room for Greeks, Armenians and Assyrians.
This systemic extermination saw over 3 million Christians slaughtered at the hands of the Turks.
