Sinopse
The documentary film of which shots were made in Ordu-TR and in Thessaloniki, Drama, Katerini, Kavala-Greek is about banish before the Treaty Lausanne and the exchange occurred after the treaty.
The beginning of the movie includes opinions of the experts/historians about majestic welcoming of Lausanne committee in TR and their ideas about the people who subjected to the exchange. According to these, a million 200 thousand Christians from TR to GR and 350 thousand Muslims from GR to TR were subjected to compulsory migration.
It is understood after the documentary film that, there was committed an unforgivable crime against humanity by making compulsory migration treaty. The signature of both states in the treaty didnt legalize the crime; the results of great drama brought by the exchange affected even the third generation in a traumatic way. And also it is unbelievable that, the longing for the lost homeland still continues among the children of exchanged.
