Overview

From the Two Sides of the Aegean 1922 – 1924
From the Two Sides of the Aegean 1922 – 1924

How did Asia Minor Greeks live in the cosmopolitan Ottoman Empire? What led to the expulsion and the Asia Minor Catastrophe? How did the Greeks receive the Asia Minor refugees when they arrived in Greece in 1922? How did the population exchange of 1923 take place? What are the stories told today by the children and grandchildren of the refugees from both sides of the Aegean? Using personal testimonies and as-yet unknown photographic and film material discovered and preserved by the non-profit company Proteas & Proteus NY in the US and in Europe, director Maria Iliou, historical consultant Alexander Kitroeff and their team unfold a fascinating story in a documentary film that premiered at the Benaki Museum in 2012.
