Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

The events which resulted in the overthrow of "The Colonels," (the system of military dictatorship in Greece) are reviewed in this documentary. The filmmaker was one of Greece's leading cameramen, and managed to take his own footage of the crucial events between 1973 and 1975, including demonstrations and police reprisals, that culminated in the popular uprising which resulted in a change in government and the return of political exiles.
