IMVROS
film
This is a full length documentary about the past and present of the island of Imvros (Imroz or Gokceada in Τurkish), located at the north east area of the Aegean sea. Since the ancient days, the island was inhabited by purely greek population, though it was under the ottoman occupation. In 1964, the greek population was expelled leading to thousands of people leaving the island and only 135 greek speaking old aged habitants remaining. During the last yeasts, efforts are made from the expelled community to return back to the island. After decades, the first primary school opened with 5 students.
