Nikos Beloyannis was one of the TOP HEROES of the Greek Left Wing, HERO of the Greek Resistance against the Nazis, who gave with smile his life for the next generations live with pride, honor and freedom.
As his incredible speech in the court, he marked with his words that him and the others were not "traitors" of Greece; they simply had DIFFERENT political ideas, the "Red" ideas, which in that period (early of 50's) were No1 ENEMY of USA and the rest Western governments.
It was truly a WRONG and UNFAIR, with NO JUSTICE at all trial. The Right Wing was super powerful in Greece in early of '50s and in fact, just a decade afterwards the Greek Right Wing & the Army made a COUP & eventually DICTATORSHIP for 7 long dark years!
A very emotional film, very good portraiting the notorious NIKOS BELOYANNIS, one of the Greek people's heroes.
