My Grandfather's People

Overview

Forced from his sun-scorched homeland in the 1920s, a grandfather’s harrowing tale unfolds as the brutal Greek-Turkish population exchange tears him from the island of Crete. The director traces this displacement, capturing the raw ache of exile and the resilient spirit that carried him through loss. Through memory and archival echoes, the film paints a portrait of a man uprooted, his identity forever split between the shores he lost and the life he had to rebuild.
