Memories

Vivian Papageorgiou
This documentary is exploring the memories of the Greek Civil War and its consequences on people of the Greek countryside, who were never actively involved in politics and lived their childhood in absolute poverty because of that, through a mix of VHS tapes with contemporary footage. Four people narrate their memories from the Greek Civil War, each one from his/her point of view. Their common originality from the countryside and their family relations connects them.
