The film screening of “The UnLost Homeland” by Eftychia Fragou will take place at the Hellenic Centre on Tuesday, 29 April 2925 at 7 pm. The film follows the story of 12 Greeks from Constantinople who lived through the Istanbul pogrom of 1955 in Turkey.
It is notorious in modern history as the only pogrom of such magnitude to have taken place during peacetime. The camera lens together with the presenter transports us to the stories of all the refugees who were forced to leave their country as well as of one Turk who is in self-exile. These are the stories of everyday people who were brutally uprooted.
