Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Theodorakis composed the soundtrack to the 1960s Greek left, was imprisoned, banned, exiled, then became a national symbol of unity.
Kutulas filmed across four continents because Theodorakis's music literally traveled with diaspora communities — the 'road movie' structure mirrors how Greek identity scattered and reformed.
