Pappas Post Review:

The film centers around Euthymia Vaya, the last surviving widow from the Kalavryta massacre, who shares her firsthand account of what happened in 1943.

“Using visuals from both the past and present, the film portrays the lasting impact that the massacre has had on Kalavrytans to this day.

Avramis shot the documentary in Greece, opening up her interests in making future films in her ancestral country.

“I’ve always been drawn to that raw emotion that Greek people don’t shy away from,” Avramis said. “I love capturing the way that plays out, I think it’s a beautiful thing.”
